Vanity license plates can be a lot of fun. I love guessing them while I'm stuck in neverending traffic while trying to make it to work on time. But not all vanity plates are created equal. Every year many vanity plates are rejected and never see the light of overpacked-highway-day.

Here are 21 vanity plates that were recently rejected by MassDOT. So good rule of thumb, DON'T REQUEST THESE VANITY PLATES.

Vanity plates get me through the H-E-double-hockey-stick that is 495 traffic pretty frequently. I enjoy chuckling at fellow roadsters' creativity. But, as you may know or guess, many vanity plates are rejected by MassDOT for various reasons every year. Here are 15 vanity plates that have recently been rejected and will never see the blinding lights of the Tip O'Neil tunnel.

He's all about the hot moms out there...

One guy filed multiple vanity plates - all with a common theme. And each time one was rejected, he came back with the next variation. What a waste of time. LOL
He started by requesting MLFLVR. Rejected. MLFS? Rejected. MLFMAN? Nope. The end.

Rejected, based on poor taste - BUT IT'S A PART OF US!

Multiple people every year try to get the license plate PISSA. They all fall to the rejection fairies.

These are "too vulgar"

LMFAO - It's a no even if you're sexy and you know it.

MOIST - If you want that as your license plate you must just be a troll who loves to evoke cringe.

SHTBX - I would die laughing if I saw a rusty old car rocking that. I actually I want to drive a rusty old car and rock that.

Two letters that just aren't allowed to be together...

MF. One guy in the past year even applied for the vanity plate BADMF. He was a kindergarten teacher.

Not the same guy, but...

You can't use the letters AZZ together either. It must have been that last guy's brother who recently tried to get the Massachusetts plate BADAZZ.

Hell on Wheels

"Religion" was given as the reason for the rejection of the Mass vanity plate SATAN.

Trendy Sayings

Not sure why these were rejected. I've never personally used any of these words in my regular vocabulary but they seem harmless unless I'm missing something: FLEEK, SLAY (I guess I can see that), and LITTY.

Something a little fishy about...

... the vanity plate FISHY. It got the hook.

Sorry "The Shining" Fans

REDRUM got denied due to violent undertones understandably.

GTFO

Nope.

STRIPR

Rejected.

SMUSH

Nuh uh.

EFNFNLY

Someone actually requested that... and got the N-O.

SCHMUCK

Sorrrryyyyyy.

And finally...

MASSSUX. The RMV obviously likes it here. Denied.

And I'm guessing people in these areas are spending too much time trying to figure out those vanity plates (and less time concentrating on not crashing):
