Thoughts on my new Euro vanity plate

I installed a new old Euro style plate on the front of the car last week. I thought I would surprise my wife with it. Since we were married in 1989 and the car is also an 89, I had our initials and the year put on the plate. It reads... "KK-AS 1989"

The first thing my wife did when she saw it was comment that people will think it means something else... something not child friendly. So I thought I would see what comes to the mind of those on the forum. What conclusion would you jump to if you saw my plate?

Kick ass was the first that came to my mind.

have to agree but suppose that is better than AS-KK 1989, nothing really wrong with that.

where do you live, in poland or in an english speaking country? if poland then a lot less people will make the connection to 'kick ass' which isn't really all that bad in itself.

Cool

I live in Georgia... so I guess you would have to call that English speaking. Looks like I am going to be buying a new plate and hanging this Kick Ass one on the garage wall.
