It's probably the case that there are people who know the reference but are just seeing you in traffic.

I saw "SIGKILL" a few years ago and smiled to myself but didn't have occasion to speak to the owner (driving at the time).

I've had "31337" since '98 (also old) and had just a couple of people mention it to me.
