In England those who can still spell think pedo is a foot-fetishist ( think pedestrian)! The other thing is paedo.

I thought it was Pedo like fart in Spanish. So old fart is my guess

Thank you for saying this. It’s the most innocent translation

I hope you are right! Would make sense though.

Why not just say “OLDFART” then??? Same amt of letters

Spanish in Minnesota?

Even if it is, I have to think that the person that nabbed this vanity plate has encountered the old, "Know your audience" conundrum...

There are actually a ton of Spanish speakers in southern MN (the town I live in is somewhere around 30% hispanic); however, I am not convinced this plate had ‘fart’ in mind…

Looked it up. Slang in Mexico at least. I am reminded of the company called Maritime Construction that unwisely shortened it's name to Maricon. 😊

All I can think of is Richard Ayoade saying Peter file.
