License Plate Translation

When someone spots a license plate that is either consists of a standard format or vanity plate & tries to decipher what it could translate to.
To kill time while I am driving, I like to find license plates that I can translate into acronym definition or determine what the douchebag was trying to define, I call it License Plate Translation.

I saw GOOD BFD & figured it may have meant, Good Big Fucking Dick or perhaps GOOD Bad Food Diet... although both are almost as lame.

Lost in Translation

An amazing film written and directed by Sofia Coppola and starring Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray.

It's about two people who are visiting Japan and who feel lost in life. Their chance meeting leads to a touching and intimate friendship and the film follows their attemts to find themselves in a strangely familiar and beautiful yet alien and bewildering environment.

The film is shot beautifully and the music combines with amazing shots of Tokyo to produce an incredibly moving film.
"Magical, funny, truly soulful, classically timeless... an absolute must see" - Uncut

"Phenomenal... film of the year!" - Arena

Winner of Acadamy Award for Best Screenplay 2004, 3 Golden Globes and 3 BAFTAS

transplacent

A mix between transient and complacent - to be self-satisfied and slightly arrogant, but in a thoughtful way.
Dude: I'm feeling really happy with everything, I kicked this guy's ass, I burned this building down, and I had a really great time doing it, but I can't help wondering why people have a problem with me.
Dudette: You seem very transplacent today.
Dude: Yea, I guess I am.

Another dude: Yea, feeling fine, feeling perhaps a tad transplacent.
