From ASSMAN to ZYG0TE: SGI has rejected more than 3,000 vanity licence plates

Darin Lanigan the Regina man who will soon have the Donald Trump head-scratcherCOVFEFEon the back of his car isn't the only Saskatchewan driver whose request for a vanity licence plate has raised eyebrows atSaskatchewan Government Insurance over the years.

• Trump's Twitter typo coming to Land of Living Skies via licence plate

He was lucky: His plate name got accepted. Many other requestsbefore his have met a dead end.

Since the 1980s, SGI has reviewed and ultimatelydenied thousands of requests for special plates in the province. There are nearly 3,700slogans on its banned list.

The organization has rejected slogans for promoting risky driving behaviour, crimes, drugs, racial slurs or for havingsexual or political connotations.

They run the gamut.

Many are simply crude: CRAPor ARSE, for instance.

Some are essentially harmless,thoughsurprisingly popular. DORKYdoesn't just show up on the list, but DORKY1, DORKY2and so on do, all the way up to DORKY9.

Others are rather ingenious in their construction, revealing themselves as targets for rejection only gradually. Take4NIK8.

And far too many are unprintable here.

SGI rejected just over 100 licence plate ideas in 2016.

For the curious, here's an editedlist of unacceptableSaskatchewan vanity plates. More offensive terms have been left off the list, though grammar and spelling enthusiasts be warned.
