Are you HRNY, Ohio? Or DRUNK? Or maybe you’re just driving like that because you HV2POOP. All our assumptions are coming from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles’ 2025 list of rejected vanity license plate applications.

Each year, the BMV rejects hundreds of these vanity license requests from some of the best gutter minds in Ohio. And while you’ll find the list of 891 rejections from 2025 runs the gamut from poop humor to playful swearing, it’s the smutty ones that really highlight Ohioans’ creativity when it comes to dirty license plates.

Keep scrolling to see some of our favorite naughty rejected license plates from 2025. You can see the full list of rejections here.
