vanity
So the other day I'm driving to work and I see 4SBWTHU on somebody's plate. I'm not so quick in the mornings and it took me a good three stoplights of following the lady (or long-haired dude) to decipher it. Fortunately he/she was going the same way I was.
Then, as though to portray another end of an entirely different spectrum, I saw a BMW station wagon (I'd known such existed but never really seen one) bearing plates of MOMSTER. I could "read" that one right away but am stymied to this day as to what it means. Is it to be a clever combination of "Mom" and "monster" or "mobster? Or rather more in the vein of the SNL Rob Schneider nickname guy ("The momster. The mom-o-rama. The mom-inator" et al. ad nauseam)? Inquiring minds must know.
Inquiring minds are also tired. I'm going to try and get twelve hours of sleep tonight, just for the hell of it.

OK, I don't get it. This is now my equivalent of "the sun will eat the air". What's the witty meaning behind the plate?
