I can't believe people are stupid enough to bitch & moan about what others do with their own property & earnings. @Vonskippy: Because we obviously have expendable income & nothing better to do with it - duh!

Now I don't feel so bad. I still don't understand what half of your explanations mean, but it all seems job related. So if I had a plate "WFL TR33", other engraving press operators would know it meant "whiffle tree" and buy me drinks 'cause I'm cool? I'm on it! Thanks Alex!

I'm guessing on this one: CSS 503 = CSS is Cascading Style Sheet, a file that tells your browser how to render a webpage. 503 seems to be an HTTP error code (Service temporarily unavailable). CSS503 is also a Cisco Server Rack. I'm thinking this one plate isn't truly a custom plate ... @seefish3 - Here's what I think are the translations:

SU ROOT = Superuser Root (Root account is a special admin account with all privileges)

UBR L33T = Uber Leet, with "leet" derived from "elite" status on Bulletin Board Systems before the Internet came into being.

Now there's a sentiment more cheaply expressed in a bumper sticker. I figure they wouldn't go for ILVORAL, either. @Gauldar

Great link. Now there's a sentiment more cheaply expressed in a bumper sticker.

I figure they wouldn't go for ILVORAL, either.
