High court permits 'HOE' license plate
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
A Las Vegas man has won a battle with the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles over his "HOE" license plate, which the DMV wouldn't renew on grounds he was using a slang reference to whores.
The high court ruled in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada and William Junge, who said he had the personalized plate from 1999 to 2006, when the DMV refused to let him renew it.
Junge said he wanted "TAHOE" for the plate on his 1999 Chevy Tahoe, but it wasn't available so he settled for "HOE." For his plate background, he picked one with a Lake Tahoe panorama.
The Supreme Court The DMV's decision was based solely on the Urban Dictionary, which includes user contributions that "do not always reflect generally accepted definitions for words."

You too can be a HOE. Sounds OK to me!
I believe the slang reference is spelled “ho”, not “hoe”. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to purchase certain garden tools.
I remember a story about a concerned citizen calling in to complain that a vehicle they saw on the road had the license plate “ISLCRK”; which she read as “I sell crack”.
The concerned civil servants looked up that license and asked the owner about his custom plates. His reply “I live on Island Creek” = “ISLCRK”.
It's not easy being a hoe.
I wonder if they would allow one with “NOBAMA” on it......
Leave the hoe hanging out the back window and hit any one that gives you greif over the hoe hanging out the back window. Please clean the hoe off after each use!!
So how about SPADE?
Or, for that matter, RAKE?
As the hoe said, you may call a spade a spade, but you are still a wicked rake!
I guess “1TAHOE1” was taken too.
Fitzie’s Grandma - “Dog River has always been a farming community. I think that we should build something that will show how proud we are of our agricultural heritage”
Brent - “There you go, now we’re cooking”
Fitzie’s Grandma - “My suggestion is, we should build a hoe.”
Collective awkward silence..
Brent - “World’s biggest hoe?”
Lacy - “They do attract people... And they certainly generate revenue.”

Fitzie’s Grandma - “I see it now, coming up out of the earth, covered in topsoil”
Lacy - “Now its a big dirty hoe.”
Brent - “Okay... You know what, just a second.. hang on.. I don’t know if this hoe thing is such a great idea.. how about a big shovel?”
Woman 1 - “That’s almost the same thing.”
Hank - “Jeez, Brent first you steal my idea, now you take hers.”
Lacy - “Yea Brent, why don’t you look Fitzies Grandma in the eye and give her one good reason this town can’t build a great big dirty hoe.”
Brent - “Uh... alright... Well... you see its just that uh.. if.. if .. “ awkward silence “No reason Mam.”
Man 1 - “Now I say we bold some sheetmetal to an old telephone pole”
Woman 1 - “No, the wood’s too dry it’ll crack”.
Brent & Lacy to each other “Crack hoe.”
Brent to Lacy “This really entertain’s you doesn’t it?”
Lacy to Brent “You have no idea.”
I, personally, am an excellent hoer! ;-P
