ILVTOFU:

From [1]the Denver Post:
Kelley Coffman-Lee's plan to advertise her love of tofu on a
license plate ran afoul of censors at the Division of Motor
Vehicles.
The 38-year-old mother of three asked the DMV to approve a special
plate emblazoned with "ILVTOFU" for her Suzuki SL-7....
The agency turned down the request, saying the plate might be
offensive to some people....
It turns out that "FU" is on a long list of letter combinations
barred by the division, said Mark Couch, spokesman for the
Department of Revenue. Think of it as "Eff you," he said.
Thanks to [2]How Appealing for the pointer.
