take a number

Figurative: "If you want to discuss this topic with me, you will need to wait your turn, as there are any number of others who wish to do so who got here before you did."

Comes from a line control mechanism that is found today with decreasing frequency, where one is requested to take a numbered ticket from a strategically placed dispenser and accordingly wait for that number to be called.

number plate

Identifying plates fitted to vehicles in the UK (and elsewhere), carrying the vehicle's registration number.
Similar to License plate, Registration plate etc.

In the UK the reg. no. belongs to the vehicle, not the driver, and contains information about the age of the vehicle and the region in which it was first sold. The system is administered by the DVLA.

The reg. number is alphanumeric, and takes the form AB12 CDE on vehicles registered after 2001, or A123 BCD on vehicles registered before 2001.

numby dicks

A sexual act in which two consenting males (of legal or illegal age) sit on their hands until they become numb. When both achieve sufficient stiffness of their penis they simultaneously jerk each other off until the point of ejaculation. At this point both loads of cum are then blasted into each others faces.
