WTF? License plates that sidestepped Iowa censorship

We recently wrote about license plates applications that were rejected last year — some because they were too raunchy for Iowa roads.

State of play: Our eagle eye readers sent pictures of a few that might have slipped by the state's censors.

🙊 Filthy talk

• STXNBLZ
• D33ZNTZ
• AZZ, the prefix of some state-issued plates.

🥊 Fightin' words

• FAHQUE
• EF NE, which our reader says is an f-bomb to the Huskers.

🧐 Risque

• POLDNCR
• PEENIE

Of note: The Iowa Department of Transportation's running list of 5,300+ banned license plates has some similar ones already on the list, including:

• DEZNUTS
• FAHQ
• EFFOFF
