Yellow Plate 

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.

That damn yellow plate just cut me off!

Look at that stupid yellow plate waiting for someone to pump their gas.
