17 Sex Terms You Were Too Embarrassed to Ask About, Defined

Especially with the rise of social media, new terms are coined all the time, including in the arena of sexuality. For instance, while the word "cuck" has become an insult hurled by the right-wing trolls, it's related to cuckolding, which can (and should) be a hot and consensual sexual activity that all involved parties enjoy. If you weren't quite sure of what that particular word's definition is — or you're unclear on terms like felching, docking, or queening, for that matter — I've written a near-comprehensive guide.

Additionally, if you're wondering if any given sex act is really a thing, keep in mind the wise words of sex educator Jimanekia Eborn : " Everything is a thing, is basically what I have learned working in sex education." In other words, if you can dream it, you can do it — or at least rest assured that someone else has probably tried to. With that being said, here are 17 sex terms you probably didn't learn in sex ed, explained.

1. Pearl Necklace

As Samantha explained to Charlotte on a memorable episode of Sex and the City , a pearl necklace is what results when someone ejaculates on or around their partner's neck or chest (yes, so that the semen is roughly where a pearl necklace is when worn). If you're not someone who enjoys wearing this kind of pearl necklace, feel free to stick to Charlotte's preferred version, which you can find at Bloomingdale's.

2. Impact Play

Impact play refers to any impact on the body done for sexual gratification, from spanking to whips and crops . When engaging in impact play, remember to pick a safe word and continually check in with one another to ensure the level of pain is desirable. It's also important to stick to areas on the body which are safe to spank or tap on with a crop, which means fleshy, meaty areas away from the organs, such as the butt and thighs. If this sounds appealing to you, be sure to check out my guide to first-timer BDSM tips .

3. squirting.

Squirting is when a person with a vagina ejaculates fluid during sex. Eborn says she is frequently asked if squirting is a myth, and she's only too happy to share that it is not, nor is it "just peeing." Research suggests that the fluid involved comes partly from Skene's glands, also known as the "female prostate" — but as with many subjects that don't focus on a penis, more research is required. Not everyone squirts, and among those who do, some squirt from clitoral stimulation and some squirt from G-spot stimulation (that is, stimulation of the sensitive front wall of the vagina).

You may be familiar with cognitive behavioral therapy , a helpful form of talk therapy. However, within the world of kink, CBT refers to "cock and ball torture." This form of CBT can be therapeutic for people with penises interested in having a dominatrix inflict pain on their genitals, through the use of ropes, whips, or even chastity devices.

Pegging refers to when a woman penetrates a man anally with a strap-on dildo . There's a now-infamous pegging scene in a Broad City episode that recently repopularized the term.

6. Queening

Queening is just a glamorous name for sitting on someone's face. There's nothing more to it than that.

7. Scissoring

Scissoring, also called tribadism or tribbing, is most often thought of as the territory of same-sex, female-identified couples. It's usually considered to be two partners rubbing their vulvas against each other's, but can also be defined as one partner rubbing their vulva against other body parts of their partner's (including the thighs and butt), as Autostraddle pointed out . In so-called "classic" scissor position, partners' legs intersect so that they look like — you guessed it — scissors. Porn (especially porn made for the male gaze) has probably hyped up scissoring as a more popular act among women who have sex with women than it actually is in real life, but plenty of people love it.

8. edge play.

When you first hear the term "edge play," it's easy to assume it refers to extreme sex acts that literally involve an edge of some sort, such as knives or needles (and yes, some people consensually incorporate those things into sex). But no sharp objects need to be involved in this type of edge play. The term means kinky sexual acts that push your boundaries (consensually) to the edge, which can be exhilarating for some. What is considered edge play differs from person to person, as we all have our own boundaries and limits. For some, psychological play such as name-calling may be edge play. If you are going to try pushing your boundaries , please do so with a partner you trust and use a safe word.

Figging is one of those sexual acts that are so interesting it's fun to know what it means, but you have to wonder if anyone actually does it. Figging is the act of inserting a piece of peeled ginger into someone's butthole, which would burn, sting, and be quite painful. Figging allegedly originated as a (non-sexual) form of corporal punishment on female prisoners by the Greek and the Roman empires. These days, the term also can refer to the general infliction of consensual pain on the anus.

10. Aftercare

Aftercare is a sexual practice that everyone should be doing, whether you're having kinky sex or vanilla sex. It's a term created by the kink community and simply means checking in with your partner(s) after sex to make sure all parties felt good and safe about what just went down and taking care of one another emotionally and physically. This can mean cuddling, bringing ice to the submissive partners if there are any spanking bruises, and talking about what you liked or what you didn't like. It really just means checking in post-sex, and if anything did happen that one or all parties felt weird about, making sure it doesn't happen the next time.

11. Felching

To felch is to suck up semen out of an orifice (using a straw is optional). For instance, someone may ejaculate inside their partner's anus and then suck their own semen out of the anus with their mouth; they then may or may not swallow. (Keep in mind that exchanging fluids in this way is associated with the risk of STIs , including HIV.)

12. Bukkake

Bukkake is both a sex act and popular genre of porn in which multiple men, typically three or more, ejaculate all over a woman.

13. Docking

"Docking is when two uncircumcised [people with penises] get together," Eborn explains. "[The first] pulls his foreskin back and holds it while [the second] stretches [theirs] open and outward as far as possible over the head and shaft of [the first partner's] penis." She says she is frequently asked if this act is real and possible, and her response is that with enough imagination and determination, most things are. (That said, remember that comfort and safety should take priority in all sexual encounters, no matter how creative.)

14. Cuckolding

Cuckolding is when a person in a relationship stands by as their partner has sex with someone else. There are many ways to cuck: The "cuckold" may look on while tied up in a corner, or the cuckold's partner may go out on their own, have sex, and report back. There is usually an element of humiliation involved: For instance, a wife may tell her husband all about how her other partner has a massive penis and can satisfy her in ways her husband cannot. Yes, some men are turned on by being told they suck in bed. (Important note: It's totally possible to share sexy fantasies about cuckolding with your partner without actually doing it.)

Professional dominatrixes often get requests to do cuckolding sessions in which they may have their submissive watch as they have sex with a different partner or tell the submissive to buy them lingerie for them to wear on a date with someone else. While cuckolding is primarily associated with married, opposite-sex couples, people can enjoy cuckolding play regardless of gender, orientation, or relationship status.

Me, My Boyfriend And My Slave

15. water sports.

According to safe-for-work Google searches, water sports are aquatic activities such as jet-skiing. In the bedroom, however, the term refers to the incorporation of urine in erotic play. A golden shower, for example, is when one partner pees on the other. If you want to try this kind of play for the first time but are a little nervous, peeing on your partner (or being peed on) in the shower is a good way to dip your toe in the water, metaphorically speaking.

16. Fisting

Fisting is when one partner inserts their entire hand or fist into the other partner's vagina (or anus, for the highly talented). If you enjoy intense penetration but are dating someone with a small penis, remember that they have an entire fist to use on you. (And no, a penchant for fisting won't make your vagina loose ( nor will sex in general , so put that myth out of your head).

If you'd like to try it, go slow and use plenty of lube ; the fister can also wear a latex glove to keep things extra sanitary and help the hand slide into the orifice. And as with any sex act, enthusiastic consent and in-the-moment communication are key to enjoyment by all parties.

17. queefing.

OK, so this one may not be a sex act, exactly, but it frequently happens during sex. Queefing is when air escapes from the vagina, often during or after penetration, and makes a farting sound. It's a form of flatulence, and it's totally normal. "At one point in time, it happens to all of us. We laugh [about it] to keep from being embarrassed," Eborn says.

What does it mean to motorboat someone?

by Carol Dillon

As a professional wedding consultant, I strive to provide detailed and informative answers to all questions related to weddings and relationships. Today, I will address the question of what it means to “motorboat” someone. Please note that this term is slang and may not be suitable for all audiences.

To put it simply, motorboating refers to the act of placing one’s head between a woman’s breasts and making the sound of a motorboat with one’s lips while moving the head from side to side. This action is typically done in a playful or intimate manner and is often seen as a form of physical affection or sexual gratification.

It is important to note that motorboating is not a universally accepted or appropriate behavior in all situations. It is generally considered a playful or intimate act between consenting adults and is often associated with a sexual context. It is crucial to always obtain explicit consent from your partner before engaging in any physical acts, including motorboating.

While motorboating may be seen as a form of physical affection or foreplay in some relationships, it is important to remember that everyone has different boundaries and comfort levels when it comes to intimate acts. It is essential to communicate openly and honestly with your partner about what is consensual and enjoyable for both parties involved.

In the context of a wedding or any public event, motorboating is generally considered inappropriate and disrespectful. It is important to maintain a level of professionalism and respect when attending such occasions. Engaging in any behavior that may be seen as offensive or inappropriate can have negative consequences and may tarnish your reputation.

To summarize, motorboating refers to the act of placing one’s head between a woman’s breasts and making a motorboat sound with one’s lips. While it may be seen as a form of physical affection or sexual gratification in certain contexts, it is crucial to always obtain explicit consent from your partner and respect their boundaries. In public or professional settings, it is important to maintain a level of professionalism and avoid engaging in inappropriate behavior.

Different Types of Motorboating

Motorboating is a term that has been around for quite some time, but most people don’t really know what it is.

There are a variety of different types of motorboating that can be done.

For example, some people may choose to motorboat someone with their eyes closed, while others may choose to motorboat someone with their eyes open.

Other variations include motorboating someone with a tongue, or motorboating someone from behind.

Each type of motorboating has its own unique effects, so it is important to choose the method that best fits the situation.

Another type of motorboating is called the double motorboat, which is a combination of two different motorboating techniques.

In this type of motorboating, both participants press their faces into each other’s chests and move their heads from side to side while making a loud, vibrating sound.

This type of motorboating is often used to show a greater level of affection between two people and can be a very intimate gesture.

No matter what type of motorboating is done, it is important to always be respectful of the other person and to make sure that both parties are comfortable with the action.

Motorboating someone should never be done without their consent, as this could lead to legal repercussions.

Motorboating is a fun and often humorous gesture, but it should always be done with discretion and respect.

The Potential Consequences of Motorboating

Motorboating is a gesture that can be funny, affectionate, or even provocative, depending on the relationship between the two people involved.

Depending on the situation, motorboating someone can have a variety of different consequences.

If motorboating is done between two people who are in a relationship, it can be seen as a fun and innocent way to show affection.

It can also be used as a playful tease between two people who are flirting or in a budding relationship.

However, if motorboating is done without the other person’s consent, it can be viewed as disrespectful and offensive.

Depending on the context, it could even lead to legal repercussions.

In a professional setting, motorboating can be highly inappropriate and should be avoided at all costs.

In some cases, it may violate the employer’s code of conduct or even lead to a hostile work environment.

For example, if an employee motorboats a coworker, it could be seen as sexual harassment and result in disciplinary action.

Ultimately, motorboating someone should be done with discretion and respect.

It is important to be aware of the potential consequences before engaging in such an activity.

If motorboating is done without the other person’s consent, it could have serious legal and professional repercussions.

On the other hand, if it is done in a respectful and consensual manner, it can be a fun and playful way to show affection.

Motorboating and Consent

Motorboating someone without their consent is never acceptable and can lead to serious legal repercussions.

It is important to ensure that the person you are motorboating is comfortable and willing to partake in the act before proceeding.

When motorboating someone, it is important to remember that it is an intimate act and should never be taken lightly.

Consent should always be sought before motorboating someone and both parties should be comfortable with the act.

In some cases, motorboating someone without their consent can be seen as sexual assault.

For this reason, it is essential to be aware of the laws in your region regarding motorboating and sexual assault.

In some areas, motorboating someone without their consent could be considered a criminal act.

It is also important to remember that even if the other person has agreed to the act, it is still possible for them to change their mind at any time.

Respect their wishes and stop the motorboating immediately if they are not comfortable.

Motorboating in a Romantic Relationship

When it comes to motorboating in a romantic relationship, there are both positive and negative consequences to consider.

On one hand, motorboating can be a fun and silly way to show affection and flirt with ones partner.

It can be seen as a playful and lighthearted gesture that can help to break the ice and bring some levity to a relationship.

Additionally, motorboating can be a form of sexual foreplay, which can increase the intimacy between two people.

On the other hand, motorboating can be seen as inappropriate or even disrespectful in some cases.

It is important to always have respect for your partner and their wishes – motorboating should not be done without their consent.

Additionally, motorboating can also be seen as a sign of disrespect or a lack of intimacy if done too frequently or in a negative or mocking manner.

It is important to be aware of the dynamics of the relationship and the feelings of both parties before engaging in motorboating.

Motorboating in a Professional Setting

Motorboating someone in a professional setting is a risky move and should be avoided at all costs.

While motorboating can be seen as a humorous and often sexual gesture, it is highly inappropriate in a professional environment.

Doing so could be seen as disrespectful and offensive and could lead to legal repercussions if done without the other person’s consent.

It is important to remember that motorboating someone in a professional setting can be misconstrued as sexual harassment.

Depending on the relationship between the two parties, it could have serious repercussions for the perpetrator, ranging from a reprimand up to potential legal action.

Even if the other person is a friend or colleague, motorboating them in a professional setting is still a bad idea.

Before engaging in any kind of potentially inappropriate behavior, it is important to consider the potential consequences.

For example, if you motorboat someone in a professional setting, you may be creating an uncomfortable and hostile work environment for those around you.

Additionally, it could also put you at risk for termination, suspension, or even legal action.

At the end of the day, it is important to respect the boundaries of those around you and to exercise discretion when engaging in any kind of potentially inappropriate behavior.

Motorboating someone in a professional setting is never a good idea and should be avoided at all costs.

Tips for Motorboating Discreetly

Motorboating someone should always be done with respect and discretion.

Before you motorboat someone, make sure that they are comfortable with the gesture and have given their consent.

Respect their wishes if they decline or ask you to stop.

If you are unsure of the other persons reaction, start by asking if they would like to be motorboated.

If you are in a relationship with the person, it is important to make sure that your motorboating is consensual.

Talk to your partner about what they are comfortable with and respect their wishes.

If you are not in a relationship, it is best to avoid motorboating altogether, as it can be seen as disrespectful and offensive.

When motorboating someone, try to be discreet.

Do not do it in public or in front of children.

Make sure that the person is comfortable with the gesture and that you are not making them feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.

Finally, make sure to be aware of the legal implications of motorboating someone without their consent.

Depending on the situation, it may be considered sexual harassment or even assault.

Respect the other persons boundaries and be aware of the potential consequences of motorboating someone without their consent.

Final Thoughts

Motorboating is a fun and often humorous way to show affection, but it must be done with discretion and respect.

Depending on the relationship between two parties, motorboating someone can have a variety of consequences, including legal repercussions if done without consent.

If you choose to motorboat someone, be sure to practice consent, use discretion, and be aware of the potential consequences.

Now that you know what happens if you motorboat someone, it’s up to you to decide if this is something you would like to experience or share with someone else.

America’s 10 Most Commonly Misunderstood Slang Terms

By ellen gutoskey | may 13, 2024.

It’s no surprise that a country as large as the United States is teeming with terms that aren’t understood from coast to coast. Preply recently set out to determine which ones cause the most confusion.

First, researchers used data from two sites, OnlyInYourState and EnjoyTravel.com , to create a list of state-specific terms. They then asked 1028 U.S. residents to guess what they thought each one meant. The 10 terms that were wrongly defined most frequently are listed below (along with some entertaining honorable mentions).

There are a few things to note before you dive in. For one, state slang is a lot like state food in that it doesn’t exactly adhere to state boundaries. Many of the terms below can be heard outside the states associated with them in this single study.

For another, the study positions all the terms as slang —but some of them might be more aptly classified as regionalisms. Slang is typically very informal and mostly confined to informal spaces (e.g. on social media or in conversations with friends). Regionalisms aren’t necessarily unofficial; their defining characteristic is just that they’re specific to a certain region. For example, the term borrow pit , which refers to an excavation ditch, boasts an entry in the dictionary and is featured on Montana’s state website .

Lastly, what survey respondents thought a given term meant wasn’t always “wrong,” per se; it was often just an alternate (and more common) definition for that term. But they did invent a few funny definitions when no other well-known options came to mind.

You can explore more takeaways from Preply’s study here .

Tavern // South Dakota

Right out straight // maine, carry // mississippi, grill // new york, gnarly // california, dirty bird // kentucky, grinds // hawaii, borrow pit // montana, put out // missouri, blucifer // colorado, honorable mentions.

In South Dakota, a tavern isn’t always—as most survey participants assumed—a bar. Sometimes, it’s a ground-beef sandwich similar to a sloppy joe. There’s a contingent of people who feel strongly that the difference between a sloppy joe and a tavern is tomato: Sloppy joes feature a tomato-based sauce , and taverns typically don’t. But there are tavern recipes that call for some form of tomato ( ketchup , for example).

Preply’s survey-takers generally thought right out straight involved telling the truth—perhaps influenced by straight in the “honorable” and “upstanding” sense. (Not to mention the phrase give it to me straight .) If you’re right out straight in Maine, though, it means you’re really busy .

The common assumption was that carry in Mississippi meant “to have a gun on your person.” And it does mean that—but it can also mean “to drive (someone),” in the same way you might say, “I have to take my mom to the airport.”

The New York–specific definition of grill is “to stare rudely.” Most respondents identified its not-so-regional meaning: “to ask a lot of questions.”

Gnarly is such a classic bit of ’80s slang that you can’t fault respondents for assuming it’s a synonym for cool . If a Californian (or any surfer) calls a wave “gnarly,” though, they probably mean it’s huge and daunting.

Using dirty bird to describe “an unappealing individual,” per Green’s Dictionary of Slang, dates back to the mid-20th century. Many survey participants correctly named that as a possible definition, but they didn’t realize that Kentuckians also use it to mean “ KFC .”

Respondents assumed grinds means the same thing in Hawaii as it does everywhere else: “works really hard.” But it’s actually slang for food , often spelled with a z : grindz .

A borrow pit is a pit formed when material is excavated (i.e. borrowed) from it and relocated somewhere else. It can also refer to a drainage ditch beside a road. Respondents unfamiliar with the term dreamed up a pretty creative definition of their own: “donation box.”

Survey participants defined put out as a somewhat vulgar euphemism for agreeing to have sex. In Missouri, though, it’s often not something you do, but something you are: angry or peeved .

If you’ve never heard the term Blucifer before, you might do what Preply’s respondents did and assume it’s another term for blue devil . (That said, it’s unclear what kind of blue devil people were picturing: It’s Duke University’s mascot , the sobriquet of a U.S. infantry division active in both world wars, and also an old-timey expression for a bout of depression .) But Blucifer is actually the colloquial nickname for the seemingly sinister 32-foot-tall fiberglass blue horse that looms over Denver International Airport. The official name of the statue, created by Luis Jiménez, is simply Mustang .

These five terms weren’t misunderstood by quite enough people to make the top 10, but we still think they deserve a shout-out.

As you've probably noticed, the slang synonyms for " motorboat " are listed above. Note that due to the nature of the algorithm, some results returned by your query may only be concepts, ideas or words that are related to " motorboat " (perhaps tenuously). This is simply due to the way the search algorithm works.

You might also have noticed that many of the synonyms or related slang words are racist/sexist/offensive/downright appalling - that's mostly thanks to the lovely community over at Urban Dictionary (not affiliated with Urban Thesaurus). Urban Thesaurus crawls the web and collects millions of different slang terms, many of which come from UD and turn out to be really terrible and insensitive (this is the nature of urban slang, I suppose). Hopefully the related words and synonyms for " motorboat " are a little tamer than average.

The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary . These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.

Due to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they're relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. bae ). Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results.

There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.

Decoding the Language of the Open Road: A Comprehensive Guide

Motorcycle culture is a vibrant and tight-knit community, with its own unique language and terminology. To truly immerse yourself in the world of motorcycles, it’s essential to understand and embrace the slang that motorcycle riders use. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the history and origins of motorcycle slang, the significance it holds in motorcycle culture, and how to use it in conversations.

Table of Contents

The History and Origins of Motorcycle Slang

The roots of motorcycle slang can be traced back to the early days of motorcycle clubs and gangs. As these groups formed and grew, they developed their own language to communicate and distinguish themselves from the rest of society. This language, known as biker lingo, became an integral part of the motorcycle culture.

Biker lingo draws inspiration from various sources, including military jargon, outlaw culture, and the thrill of the open road. Some terms have their origins in the early days of motorcycling, while others have evolved over time. Understanding the history and origins of motorcycle slang gives us a deeper appreciation for the language and its significance within the community.

Common Motorcycle Slang Terms

To navigate the world of motorcycle slang, it’s important to familiarize yourself with some commonly used terms. Here are a few examples:

• Crotch Rocket: This term refers to a high-performance sportbike, known for its speed and agility.
• Saddlebags: These are bags attached to the sides or rear of a motorcycle for carrying luggage or other items.
• Pillion: The seat behind the rider, often used to describe a passenger seat.
• Rat Bike: A motorcycle deliberately designed to have a worn, rugged appearance.

Biker Lingo and Its Significance

Biker lingo serves multiple purposes within motorcycle culture. Firstly, it acts as a form of communication among riders. When two riders engage in a conversation filled with motorcycle slang, it creates a sense of camaraderie and belonging. It allows riders to connect on a deeper level, sharing their experiences and passion for the open road.

Secondly, biker lingo serves as a way to preserve the traditions and heritage of motorcycle culture. Many of the terms used today have been passed down through generations of riders. By using this language, riders pay homage to those who came before them and keep the spirit of motorcycle culture alive.

Lastly, biker lingo adds an element of excitement and mystique to the motorcycle world. It gives riders a way to express themselves and their love for motorcycles in a unique and memorable way. Whether it’s a simple greeting of “Ride safe, brother!” or a more elaborate phrase like “Live to ride, ride to live,” biker lingo encapsulates the freedom and thrill of the open road.

How to Use Motorcycle Slang in Conversations

Using motorcycle slang in conversations and social media can be a fun and engaging way to connect with fellow riders. Here are a few tips to help you incorporate biker lingo into your interactions:

• Listen and learn: Pay attention to the slang used by other riders and take note of any terms or phrases that interest you.
• Practice in conversations: Start incorporating motorcycle slang into your conversations with fellow riders. Not only will it help you become more comfortable with the language, but it will also create opportunities for meaningful connections.
• Use it responsibly: While using motorcycle slang can be exciting, it’s important to use it responsibly and respectfully. Avoid using slang terms that may be offensive or derogatory to others.

In the world of social media, motorcycle slang can be a powerful tool for building an online presence. Incorporate relevant terms and phrases into your posts and captions, and engage with other riders using the language they understand. This will help you connect with a wider audience and foster a sense of community.

Common Misconceptions

Despite its rich history and cultural significance, motorcycle slang is often misunderstood or misrepresented. Let’s address some common misconceptions:

• Motorcycle slang is exclusive to gangs and outlaw culture: While motorcycle gangs have played a role in the development of motorcycle slang, the language is not exclusive to them. Motorcycle slang is used by riders from all backgrounds and is a way to connect and communicate within the broader motorcycle community.
• Motorcycle slang is vulgar or offensive: While some motorcycle slang terms may have a rough edge, the language as a whole is not inherently vulgar or offensive. Like any language, it’s important to use motorcycle slang responsibly and respectfully.

By dispelling these misconceptions, we can appreciate motorcycle slang for what it truly is—a vibrant and expressive language that brings riders together.

Embracing the Language of the Open Road

As a rider, embracing the language of the open road is an essential part of connecting with the motorcycle community. Motorcycle slang and terminology not only facilitate communication but also embody the spirit of adventure, freedom, and camaraderie that defines motorcycle culture.

By understanding the history and origins of motorcycle slang, familiarizing yourself with common terms, and using the language responsibly, you can fully immerse yourself in the world of motorcycles. Embrace the language of the open road, and let it become a part of your journey as you explore new horizons and forge lifelong connections with fellow riders.

Judge says Delaware vanity plate rules allow viewpoint discrimination and are unconstitutional

• Copy Link copied

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware’s vanity license plate program is unconstitutional because it allows officials to discriminate against certain viewpoints when deciding whether to approve applications, a federal judge has ruled.

Tuesday’s ruling came in a lawsuit filed by Kari Lynn Overington, 43, of Milton, a breast cancer survivor whose “FCANCER” license plate was recalled in 2021 because it contained a “perceived profanity.” Overington filed a lawsuit that year challenging the decision, and the American Civil Liberties Union later took up her case.

“I’m very grateful that I was able to have my voice heard. What they were doing was wrong,” Overington told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

In a deposition last year, Overington testified that when she applied for the vanity plate, she explained that it meant “fight cancer.” DMV officials asked her about Facebook posts showing her wearing a T-shirt reading “f—- cancer” and celebrating her “f—- cancer” anniversaries, using an expletive and not the word “fight.”

A spokesman for the Delaware Department of Transportation said the agency will review the decision before commenting on it and the future of the vanity plate program. A DOT attorney said at a March court hearing that Transportation Secretary Nicole Majeski had talked about getting rid of all vanity plates.

Although the lawsuit stemmed from Overington’s feelings about cancer, it exposed how the Division of Motor Vehicles has handled attempts by drivers to express themselves, including those taking aim at President Joe Biden with “Let’s Go Brandon” criticisms.

In ruling for Overington, Judge Gregory Williams rejected the DMV’s arguments that the alphanumeric combination of letters and numbers on vanity plates constitutes “government speech” and can be regulated as officials see fit.

The DMV based its argument on a 2015 Supreme Court ruling allowing Texas to prohibit the Sons of Confederate Veterans from creating a specialty license plate design featuring a Confederate battle flag. Williams noted that the Texas case involved the background art and designs on specialty plates, not the alphanumeric text. Since then, courts in California, Maryland, Rhode Island and Tennessee have ruled that alphanumeric text on vanity plates is private speech, while Hawaii and Indiana courts have said it is government speech.

“This court agrees with the majority of courts on this issue,” wrote Williams, declaring that Delaware’s regulations permit viewpoint discrimination and are unconstitutionally overbroad and arbitrarily enforced.

Unlike in Delaware, Hawaii’s rules are more defined and objective, simply banning “vulgar” words while including details about which dictionary should be consulted, the judge noted.

In Delaware, no vanity plate can be issued if it is “considered to be obscene” by DMV officials. The regulations also state that plates that make “unflattering statements about any particular group or raise politically sensitive issues” should be referred to top administrators for review.

DMV records disclosed in the lawsuit illustrate the arbitrary approach officials have taken in denying vanity plates, using terms such as “negative,” “questionable,” “mean,” “evil,” “inappropriate,” “disgusting” and “could be offensive.”

In making their decisions, officials frequently relied on the “Urban Dictionary,” a crowd-sourced website that invites people to submit and define slang words and phrases. In one case, officials combined two acronyms found on the site to conclude that “SNDNSNW” did not really mean “sand and snow.”

“A lot of them, you really got to scratch your head,” ACLU attorney Dwayne Bensing said Wednesday. “You kind of saw a race to the bottom … as to who could have the most dirty-minded interpretation.”

DMV officials have been particularly sensitive about vanity plates with possible sexual innuendo and those aimed at Biden. “Let’s Go Brandon,” and any of its permutations, for example, are off limits. The phrase dates to a crowd chant after a NASCAR race in Alabama in 2021. The crowd chanted “F--- Joe Biden” during a televised interview with race winner Brandon Brown, but an NBC reporter incorrectly said fans were shouting “Let’s go, Brandon.”

Although Delaware DMV official Charles Gourley declared “FJOEB” to be “defamation to our current sitting president,” even the name “Brandon” is problematic. A driver wanting “FJBLGB6,” explained that it referred to “kids names,” but DMV official Robyn Bose instead described it as “hate speech and fighting words and vulgar.”

Delaware is not the only state where officials are sensitive to vanity plates critical of the president. An Ohio man filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month after his application for a vanity plate reading “F46 LGB” was rejected in 2022. That same year, Alabama officials reversed course and allowed a gun store owner to keep a vanity plate reading “LGBF JB” after initially telling him it would not be renewed.
