The Yex

[cjsmith]

On my way to work I saw a license plate with the string "YEX" in it.

What a cool word!

It is obviously a Dr. Seuss character. It's big, fluffy, a bit awkward, and genial. If I had any drawing talent I'd sketch one. Maybe its arch-enemy is the Gex. A wonderful bird is the Yex; it's got one big head on two necks...

Yex! Genial, definitely.

Ken and I have a habit of trying to pronounce license plate letter combinations. Nice to know we're not alone :).

OK, I just see a combination of Yacc & Lex, not some animal.

Our new license plate for the Prius has DEF in it. I don't see a set of sequential characters, I see a LISP function.

I admit that when I was fiddling with rhymes for it, Lex came rather quickly to mind. :-)

My plate has WMU in it. I know of no nerdy association there, but it is fun to say. WOOM-uuu! Wa-MOOOO!

...I think I'm missing something on this one.

To hiccough was the definition of 'yex' when I Googled it.

Oh really? Way cool! I had no idea it was a word!

I thought it was like "Honey, your cat yexed on the carpet again."

Best I could do on short notice.

There was once a bird called the Yex;
Whose song was much worse than it's pecks.
If shocked, Yexes try
To peck out your eye
And failing that, want to have sex.

Thanks for brightening my evening! =laughing=

I want a license plate with a word in it. All I have is a miscellaneous assortment of letters and numbers signifying nothing. :-(

A wonderful bird is the Yex!
It's got one big head on two necks.
It sees all around it--
Many things that astound it--
And numerous things that perplex.

Oh excellent! I kept trying to do something with its "very strong pecs" but couldn't make it work. :-)

I thought of my old Uncle Wiggly Game. There was a card that spoke of the Skeezikz looking vexed. I'm sure I spelt that wrong. Anyway, it had all of these little rhymes in it.

I've been looking at license plates lately and making up common (sometimes) sayings. Things with X's are always difficult.

Ex - You Exude X-rays

Oh nifty! What's WMU? That's what I have now. (For years I used to be YKZ which is a tough one indeed.)
