A derogatory term or regional slur against New Yorkers (and sometimes New Jerseyites) who have recently moved to Florida since the start of the pandemic. Yellow plates are the scourge of Florida highways, frequently speeding as traffic is significantly less prevalent in their new state. They also enjoy city driving, considering that pedestrian and bicycle traffic is all but non existant. Floridians only find relief from Yellow Plates when a hurricane hits and they flee the state. Snowbirds are considered the upper class of Yellow Plates, generally accepted by the populus as seasonal guests, rather than a permanent burden.

Get the Dinner Plate Penis mug.Banging Plates goes beyond a "Red herring", it's making noise about the red herring insisting that it is the one true interpretation, even if it's just a profitable misinterpretation. It is a psychological idea, creating a chaos where logical analysis becomes difficult; now fear shepherds one into going for the red herring even if with a calm mind he would never have taken that option. Many other hidden meanings, like "our plates are empty, so feed us by buying our silly commercial idea".
