If you were looking to get a little creative for your next license plate renewal, such as touting your “10INCHDK” or giving your ride a more accurate title (“SEXBUS,” perhaps), you’re out of luck.

According to a 7-page list from the DMV, tasteful phrases from “UPYURZ” to “EZLAY” will never claim a spot on New York vanity plates.

So, for those of you with a proclivity toward “HUMP1N,” looks like you’ll have to find another way to share.
