Would you have figured this out?
Some redneck in VA just got his personalized license plate revoked because it's coded hate speech. The plate read 14CV88. Do you see why it's a hate plate? I sure didn't. This article explains it.

I know the 88 is code for Heil Hitler, in some circles (H = 8th letter of the alphabet)

I wouldn't have got it, but if someone pointed it out saying "that's code" I probably would have guessed white supremacy as I am familiar with the 1488 code. There's actually disagreement about where exactly the 88 comes from, but none of the options are inspiring.

Nope, I'm as ignorant about the code as the driver of the vehicle is about Islam:
"Everything I ever needed to know about Islam I learned on 9/11."

I wouldn't have. Who sits down and actually tries to hard enough to decipher such things?

When you tell me it's hate speech, I can identify the 88 for the hitler/neonazi reference, but it's not something that would be obvious to me if I just saw it driving around. And I have no idea what the rest means (haven't seen the article, I'm guessing it says?)

As the article says, the tip off is the vehicle itself.

For those not inclined to read the article:
14: code for imprisoned white supremacist David Lane's 14-word motto, "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." CV: Confederate veteran 88: the eighth letter of the alphabet, H, doubled to signify "Heil Hitler"
