interesting licence plate

The plate (on an SUV) was HOYSTOY, which I assume meant Hoy's Toy. But I couldn't help wonder...maybe it meant something else.

I seem to recall (reaching back to 9th grade Spanish) that hoy means "I am." So maybe the person's name is Stoy. Nah, that couldn't be it. But I liked the hoy = I am approach.

I finally decided that it was "Hoy St Oy," meaning "I am Saint Oy, the Spanish Jewish saint of exasperation."

"Hoy" is "today" in Spanish. :) Personally, I think you're on to something with Saint Oy... :D

ack, that's right. "I am" is soy, not hoy. It's been a long time since high school...Of course, now I have to wonder about soy sauce. Soylent green?
