This individual certainly got some entertainment from mocking the boston accent. I have to give them credit for creativity. I do not have to give them full credit as they could have just gotten a bumper sticker. I also will say that my husband and I spent a few seconds repeating this plate over and over to try to figure out its meaning.
Recent information gathered (not by Chris, but by Michelle) was that a vanity plate in NH costs $55.00 to purchase. My thoughts on that are as follows: Congratulations NH for making a wad of cash! Bumper stickers that give the same message as your license plate are $5. NH should give a discount if people can accurately spell their message.
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't understand this message. There definitely appears to be two different opinions of the Boston accent in NH--the opinion that Boston is superior than the boonie towns up here in the woods and hills, thus the Boston accent appears to be "cool" to these woodsy NH folks, and to mimic the accent improves their social status momentarily. And then her are the NHers who are confounded by the Bostonian accent and it's origination and find it humorous to mimic on occasion. I have a feeling that many of us think that the owners of the aforementioned vanity plate fall into he first category. However, we must remember not to be too hasty to judge for there is no explanation associated with these plates. Perhaps this is the best Americanized spelling of a word or phrase of a foreign language such as Korean, etc.? Although it would be far more fun if this plate really was stupid.
