I'm sure several forumites will appreciate.
I had to look that one up; "she who must be obeyed". There's also a variant SWAMBO (always). Here's a story about one who filed for divorce after taking SWMBO as an insult, after snooping on her partner's phone, and justifying ending the relationship as she who must be INFORMED.

It's never just one thing IMO. There were probably a thousand other small things, and she was a coward and was looking for something to blame him for (to make it his fault), and use that as the reason to get out.

Honesty is the best prevention. "I don't like it when you do that" ... " I want you to do this" ... etc.

Virginia DMV Revokes World's Greatest License Plate | Jalopnik

I dunno - the mirror-reversed 'ASSHOLE' one posted earlier in this thread surely deserves consideration for World's Greatest. But in any event, a sad day for creative license-plating!

I'm surprised the Virginia DMV hasn't taken down the web site offering these plates...

Haaahaaa, good one.

I thought this was stupid, until I realized it is happening in "Virginia". Makes sense.

My question: the guys in the judging committee, do they have children?
I feel like eating mine, sometimes...

A man's place is in the wrong.

As I know well.

I think our license watchdog was napping:

ISHITVA

Might be a name but I'm still surprised it was approved.

I don't have a picture, but PHUKET is also around. It is a place of course, but everyone likes to mispronounce it for the comedic effect.

In front of us coming home was a BMW 330i with plate F888V.
As we were trying to guess what it might stand for a Lamborghini LP840 pulled beside us with plate B88888B. We don't know what it stands for either.

But that's 8 8's in 2 license plates.

License plate readers are error-prone when distinguishing 8 and B. At least, that's the belief of a fair number of race-friends I have here in CA.

One guy has something like 88B8BB8 as his plate.
