WTF?

Lynn of A Sweet, Familiar Dissonance pointed out a story about a woman who can't get her personalized license plate renewed.

She used to own the North Woods Tree Farm with her husband, and got a "NWTF" license plate.

I'm sure you thought it meant she was a member of the National Wild Turkey Federation.

Or possibly Negros Women for Tomorrow Foundation.

Or maybe the North West Twinning Federation.

Or perhaps the National Wind Tunnel Facility.

Or any of a number of other innocent acronyms

Apparently the state of Ohio thinks it stands for "now what the f*ck?".

The state of Ohio is retarded.

NOBODY uses those four letters to mean that... at least until this story came out of Ohio. This may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Anyway, I just wanted to clear something up, here. I *do* realize that most people think that WTF stands for "what the f*ck?"

Most people are wrong.

WTF stands for "what's this for?".

Which is handy information to have, if an innocent youngster (or uptight oldster) ever asks you what WTF stands for.

1 Actually I thought it was for the Northwest Trade Federation which is a little known American trapping company that tried to start up shortly after the Rev War. They where a complete failure.

3 No kidding. Someone let this one slide through the Wisconsin Dept of Motor Vehicles: PHA QII Can you figure it out? (Yes, it is naughty.)

4 Aaah, but have you seen THIS one? Who would have thought that a stock-issued random plate with an orange positioned in the middle would be so... P'cola beach?
