I hope someone writes to me and tells me what I just said that was offensive, because I'll be doggoned if I know.
The state of Oregon wouldn't let the Udinks get a fourth license plated for their son because the state says the word is similar to an offensive word.
????
The first three plates were issued 7, 5 and 1 year ago.
The state has ordered the plates returned.
Apparently - "DINK has several derogatory meanings," says one woman, who sits on the Department of Motorvehicles panel that approves vanity plates. Uh, where was the panel when the first three were approved?
Sexual reference? A racial slur targeted at the Vietnamese?
Really?
In the Netherlands, it's a common last name.
In Japan, it's short for - Double Income No Kids...kinda cool if you ask me.
And then there's rinky dink. 
The DMV denies requests for any combination of letters and numbers that may be viewed as objectionable, in any language, by use of phonetic, numeric or reverse spelling, or when viewed as a mirror image, or that would alarm or offend a reasonable person.
Intimate body parts or sexual or bodily functions are taboo, as are offensive references to race, color, gender, ethnic heritage, or national origin or to alcohol or drugs or paraphernalia.
I still don't get it.
I guess I just ken't dink bery will.
