Striking a powerful blow for gardening enthusiasts everywhere, the Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that a Vegas man can keep his personalized HOE license plate.

William Junge claims that he chose the plate for his Chevy Tahoe in 1999 after "TAHOE" wasn't available. After trying to cancel his plate, the DMV retaliated by quoting the Urban Dictionary definition of hoe as a prostitute. But the high court upheld Junge's right to use HOE, determining that "a reasonable mind would not accept the Urban Dictionary entries alone as adequate to support a conclusion that the word 'HOE' is offensive or inappropriate."

We're torn on this one. While we have always believed Urban Dictionary to be the premiere source of accurate linguistic information, we also like to laugh at dirty words on license plates. If HOE goes, what word with both regular and hilarious meanings will be next? We can see why the ACLU got involved in this one.

After the jump, check out more amazing vanity plate disasters.
