The Oregon Division of Motor Autos has launched the listing of self-importance plates it denied to Oregonians in 2021. The listing is surprisingly lengthy and exhibits simply how excited individuals had been to drive round with soiled phrases on their vehicles.
Whereas it’s apparent why a few of these plates had been denied, I genuinely wrestle to grasp why others, like “WE WINE”, aren’t allowed. However far be it from me to query the hardworking individuals of the ODMV, who clearly had their work minimize out for them and did present reasoning for every of their denials.
The explanations vary from “Configuration is alarming, threatening, offending, or deceptive,” to “Configuration refers to sexual act or bodily operate,” to “Configuration refers to unlawful acts or managed substances,” which might be the catchall that “WE WINE” acquired caught by.

Intercourse Stuff
The title speaks for itself, however it contains “FVCK,” “B00BIS,” and the significantly enterprising one that was denied “HENT4I” and tried once more with “HENT41.” I respect your tenacity – even when it’s bizarre.
Alcohol And Weed
I really feel bizarre about this one as a result of I don’t actually perceive why somebody must be denied the license plate “M3RL0T” when it’s not unlawful. I get that drunk driving is dangerous, however you wouldn’t deny somebody the license plate “SMRTPHN” despite the fact that it’s dangerous to make use of that when you’re driving. At any fee, the entire classics are represented right here from “WHSKY” to “4C00RS,” to “LAGER.” Gained’t somebody consider the microbrewers and vintners?
There are additionally a variety of license plates referring to weed, like “T0 HIGH,” “BLAYZN,” and “T0ASTD”.
Butt Stuff
Give a inhabitants the place to write down one thing and simply as absolutely as bears poop within the woods, they’ll write about butts.

I sincerely hope none of those are offensive, however I can’t parse “B52 PRN.” I assume I perceive the second half, however I actually don’t perceive the entire thought.
