As we usher in 2026, it is time to reflect on the highs and lows of 2025. New Times has highlighted some of the most interesting Florida Men we have met, the only in Miami news headlines that we have encountered, and South Florida’s most unsavory characters over the last year.
But perhaps the most important year in review is the list of license plate submissions Floridians attempted to put on their cars. Every year, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles compiles a list of personalized license plate submissions that it rejected for being too objectionable, obscene, and, at times, nauseating. The Inventory Control Unit stays up-to-date on the latest slang from Urban Dictionary and TikTok as it reviews each submission, so abuelas in South Florida do not veer off the Palmetto Expressway in sheer horror.
Like clockwork, the hornballs returned for the 2025 reindition of the distasteful license plates as they continually try to sneak a sexual reference past the review unit. Year after year, (fortunately for the drivers who must share the roads with the sex-crazed motorists behind the foul suggestions), the state rejects the submission for “V1BR80R,” “WET AF,” “HWK 2AW,” and “ERECT.” It saves you from an awkward conversation with your mother about the car stopped in front of you sporting a license plate that reads “HEDPLZ,” “2BONER,” or “OMY2FYM.”
From the pizza fanatics to the sex-obsessed and even aspiring murderers, here are some of the most unforgettable license plate submissions rejected by the state in 2025. You can find the complete list at the bottom of the article.
