DMV denied our special plate
Folks, need your opinions on this. We applied for a special plate for our fifthwheel travel trailer. Here is the plate we applied for:
LBS INN
Our last name is Pounds, and we intended this as a play on LBS for our name, and INN for the home away from home.
Got a letter today that our plate was denied. No specific reason given, but they explain that common reasons are, "any combination of letters and numbers that may be considered offensive, which could be misleading, or in conflict with any existing license plate series issued."
So what am I missing? Is there another offensive meaning behind those letters? Some other reason? I thought this would be a slam dunk.
They have an appeal process, and I am debating whether I care enough to bother. Your opinions might help me decide.

Check Urban Dictionary. There's an offensive definition for anything there, LBS & INN included. Though without their being specific as to their reason for denial, it's hard to say if that was why.
I think that was a nice, creative choice for your plate. I'd appeal it, if for no other reason than to be a pain in the backside.

Hello,
I get it. I think you should continue to complain if it is what you want. (DMV does not need any more money) but if it is what you want go for it.
I was looking at the plate LBS INN and I could not figure out what would be offensive about it. I asked my old lady to look at it and see if she could come up with something. Well she did kinda, I can see it, but I think you still can get the plate if you want it.

I dont know. Thats what we could think of as to why they denied you the plate.

All trailers except park trailers and trailer coaches are subject to PTI.
NOTE: A camp trailer or fifth-wheel trailer (depending upon maximum length, width, or size) can be registered as a trailer coach, or camp trailer. Camp trailers are subject to PTI, but trailer coaches are subject to annual registration and excluded from PTI.

I think I know what their angle is, but can't think of a delicate way to explain it.
I agree, I would definitely appeal it, pointing out "LBS" in relationship you your actual name. That's too great a plate for you guy's to not put up a bit of a fight for.
