My new vanity plates arrived - Maybe a little too esoteric?

I got it, and I laughed. Wife didn't get it, and I laughed. Doubt many people will get it. North Carolina allows punctuation on vanity plates, including "/". I suggested a regular expression to a friend for his vanity plate, but it was already taken. :Q

That's a creative idea. If only you could somehow write PbFoot then I think nearly everyone would get it.

Got it instantly. But I'm a geek.

I still am tempted to get one for the Volvo that says TRBOBRK.

Without reading the other replies my first thought went: P. Bigfoot then PB foot in which case, if I remember my chemistry, "lead foot"

I saw Oregon and FOOT and immediately thought of Big Foot. You have a B right before FOOT, so I was thinking "something" "Big Foot".

I would have never, ever have gotten it. Not in a million years. I am not sure how Google would have helped me, either, since I would not have just put in PB.

I find it hard to believe that, given the population size, if not the relative intelligence level ;), of Oregon, that you will find many people in Oregon that will get it, either.

That plate cries for an explanatory plate frame.

Well, I didn't get it at first (my brain isn't in geek mode at the moment) so I googled it, and got a pleasant surprise on youtube. :)

Its pretty funny, but don't expect anybody but geeks/nerds/etc to get it.

If you're a geek that likes Led Zeppelin, you could have tried PBZPLN

I instantly thought of "lead foot" (pb = lead, the metal).

I'm writing this before I scroll down. No doubt others recognized it immediatelt too.

Edit: Fe Man is pretty good too.
