Maltese Falcon = symbol of courage, strength, determination etc.
Maltese Chicken, the Irony should be self evident.
I asked this same question awhile ago and got a number of responses as well. I did a search and couldn't find it. I guess that post was too long ago and has been erased from the server.

SUX 2BU = a license-plate style abbreviation of the phrase "sucks to be you". I was using that on boards, as my email and some messenger program handles well before the song came out with the same name.
It originated back in 96 when I wanted a new Ram Air Trans Am REALLY BAD. Couldn't afford it though. I thought it would be the funniest/coolest thing to have U SUCK as a license plate (this was back in my younger days [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) Dukk suggested SUX 2BU as it is a little less aggressive and fills up the plate better. I liked it and have used it as a handle since first getting on the net in 97.
I don't use this as my license plate though as 1) my wife wouldn't go for it
and 2) the province of BC requires you to provide an explanation of why you want whatever letters on your personalized plate and I don't think they would approve it. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
