CAA Out-of-sequence registrations

Apparently, the CAA refuses to register anything that it considers rude .... so that rules out most of the usual four lettered words, that are used by pilots

But I do recall some years ago, that the former champion jockey, Willie Carson, registered his personal runabout as G-WILI.

His old friend & rival jockey, Walter Swinburn, then registered his Cessna T303 as G-PUSI, & always tried to park it next to G-WILI, at the race-courses, preferably in full view of the TV cameras!
