Not Your Average Alphabet Soup: Decoding "IGH"
Forget secret government conspiracies or messages to UFOs. The truth behind "IGH" is actually quite...unremarkable. It simply stands for Hillsborough County. Yes, you read that right. The land of Busch Gardens, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and enough humidity to make your hair its own weather system uses "IGH" to designate vehicles registered within its borders.
But wait, there's more! Florida, in all its sunshine-fueled eccentricity, has a whole alphabet soup of codes for its 67 counties. So next time you're stuck in traffic (because let's be honest, it's practically a rite of passage in Florida), you can play a fun game of "County Code Cracker!" Who knows, you might even impress your fellow motorists with your newfound knowledge (or terrify them slightly).

Fun Facts That Won't Get You Arrested (Probably)
- Did you know that "MAN" is not, in fact, a declaration of primal dominance? It just means Manatee County.
- And "DUV" isn't a challenge to a good ol' fashioned duel. It signifies Duval County (Jacksonville, for those keeping score).
- Palm Beach County? That's a fancy way of saying "PBC." Because apparently, paradise has a character limit.
So next time you see a strange combination of letters, remember: It's probably not a secret code for repelling alligators (although that would be pretty cool). It's most likely just Florida being Florida, keeping things interesting, one license plate at a time.
