Nearly 21 states had orders for “covfefe” vanity license plates, Newsweek reported. Georgia announced that the term, as well as any other variation of the word, will not be allowed on its vanity plates. The state did not say why it banned the word.

Bruce Brown, an Atlanta lawyer, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the state’s decision to ban the word may be a violation of the First Amendment.

“Given the word ‘covfefe’ has a political meaning, the state can’t ban it because there are no provisions for rejecting political speech in their statute, and I’d say it is unconstitutional because rejecting all political speech means their decision is not viewpoint-neutral,” Brown said.

Covfefe joins the list of the other 8,000 terms the state prohibited which include: “H0TBODY,” “BUTT” AND “PERVERT."

What's really left at that point?



But, what if your last name is Covfefe? You gonna make me change that, Georgia?!



I'd love to be on the committee that makes such decisions.  

I'd allow this one, though, because it makes clever use of the orange.



Gross. There's a blood-soaked revolution on the horizon. I'm on team BUTT PERVERT.

Hahhahahahahaaha..... how... did that one make it though :D



Given the word ‘covfefe’ has a political meaning,..



I wonder what the other 8,000 banned words are.

I'm sure if we'd brainstorm this, we should at least come up half of them.
