Hmmmm.
WTF? (http://www.wxii12.com/news/16699280/detail.html)
-
That seems a little ridiculous, but whatever.
-
laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
-
Man, late to the party. My friend Cesar used to have WTF for a vanity plate.
-
I have never heard of any of those "20 internet acronyms" actually being used in a situation.
Parents seem to think that every sentence during online chat is an acronym.
-
NIFOC
IWSN
WKRP
that was great.
-
Man, now I want a license plate that says OMGWTF or NSFW.
Just to see if anyone comments on it.
-
POS - Piece of Shit, as in "What a POS article"
I mean, I know I don't go to chat places and such (other than gabbly) and haven't been on irc in aaaages but I have never seen most of those fucking acronyms. It kind of feels like a satire article, or at best whoever they went to to give them some acronyms is pulling their leg.
-
So wait, what happens if you don't want to change it? Do they just take it from you and charge you?
-
The best one I've encountered in one of those internet-acronyms-for-parents-type books:
4N6
Guess what that's supposed to stand for!
-
forensics? why would someone use that?
-
It's the code word for kids watching CSI when they're supposed to be sleeping.
-
The guy who lives next door to my mom's house has a German license plate that says NUDE(numbernumbernumber).
-
this sounds a bit familiar (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1211061stfu1.html)...

Badass

goddamn it i was about to post that exact story
-
I'm trying to get my license plate changed to PWNZORZ.
-
Here you go:
PWNZORZ (http://www.tax.ok.gov/plates/sp149.html)
-
That is one character too long.
-
Nope, Form 749 allows for seven characters.
-
UK plates can be quite short; I've been cut up by an arsehole in a Range Rover with the simple plate " FU2"
-
This is like, the least helpful article ever. All it's going to do is make a bunch of parents really paranoid. It doesn't help that the first five are all related to keeping something secret from parents...
NALOPKT... does that really need to be an acronym? If you polled 500 middle schoolers, how many of them do you think would actually know what this means?
-
I've seen NALOPKT used in nerd-land [i.e. forums occupied by nerds and geeks] from time to time. There are places that it's common to use initials, not as a standard acronym, but just to abbreviate a sentence which the writer simply guesses that his readers will be able to work out.
-
That would piss me off so hard.
-
Granted it's been a while since I've been in high school or in a chat room, but I find it funny that the only place I've ever seen that "Parents Over Shoulder" or equivalent is in alarmist articles about how the internet is corrupting your children. The only one of those I ever remember seeing in a real chat room is ASL.
-
My favourite is GYPO, because it's a racial slur AND an acronym.
-
TWPMOSH.
-
My friend's parent's license plate is AFI 666.
-
Man that slideshow was irritating. Why was it even a slide show? A list would have sufficed and saved time and bandwidth.
-
A slide show makes it look like they know what the hell they are talking about, when it is painfully obvious to everyone that they do not.
-

When you're enough of an alarmist to make a list like that, I doubt saving time is a priority.
Similarly, when you're enough of an idiot to make a list like that, I doubt saving bandwidth is a priority.

sufficed for what? They're selling a product here. The product is fear and paranoia. Pretty pictures is going to move more "the-kids-are-not-ok" then plain text.
-
If the majority of people who saw these plates were either innocent about its meaning or not offended, it seems like such a waste of time and resources chasing down everyone who had "WTF" on their plates. It just upsets the old people when you tell them stuff like this!
-
Why should old people be more offended than others? They've had longer to get used to rude words.
-
And have been using them longer.
-
Rude words were, well, ruder in olden days.
-
WYEOAATMALLT, IDSTIAP.
S, WYEOAITMALLT, IDSBIAP.
RWW,Wl,RIOD.
-
i'm hoping that "i [heart] goatse" isn't taken yet
-

Actually, you are right, all the old people I know are not scared of swears. All the middle aged people I know don't necessarily know that certain things are rude, and when they find out, they pretend to be shocked. Middle aged people, why do you pretend to be shocked?
-

I would not be surprised if GOATSE is already taken. Or 2G1C for that matter either.

That's because you are not 11.
I had the chance to get a NERD license plate - over here you have 1 to 3 letters denominating where the car is registered, then 1 to 2 letters which you can pick and then 1 to 4 numbers - all depending on availability.
I wanted NE-RD-1337. No dice. My brother got to pick it.
Then I wanted my dad to get a NE-RD plate. Nope. My mom wouldn't have it either.
You can also get S-EX or SE-X. But you gotta pay extra.
-
ICU81MI?
Hilarious!
-
Everyone knows that the only important acronyms are QC, RHITP and STNSDYS.
-
stfw
-

Isn't that always the way.
-
What is this thread?
-
It has seems to have mutated. I did see a 1337 license plate the other day though.
-
The best one I've encountered in one of those internet-acronyms-for-parents-type books:
4N6
Guess what that's supposed to stand for!
Wow, I've never seen that one used.
"Hey, wanna 4N6?"
Assuming it stands for foreign sex.
-
Forensics (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=4n6)
-
WTF
-
My state fails at life.
-
Why would someone want to make an acronym for forensics?
-
A simular reason to why someone would have the Fibonacci Sequence in their signature.
-
If you click more you find that the word has been given an arbitrary different meaning as well.
-
^ With adding just one letter to your post, you come up with a basic truth of the internet:
If you click more, you find that the world has been given an arbitrary different meaning as well.
-

My point was that it's not difficult to type, is not vulgar, does not require some sort of code (parents behind me or something) due to awkwardness or some other reason, and could not embarrass you in the event that you're in a conversation with multiple people.
I guess it's time to change my signature.
