My vanity plate in MA means one thing to me but something else to some people (not offensive in any way.) That's fine, don't care what others think of my plate or me.
Have always liked vanity plates because they are fun to decipher. My tongue-in-cheek guess of the story behind the plate in question:
Maybe an aging, former Massachusetts resident who realizes all the financial benefits of tourists and out-of-state owners...
it stands for "Good Ol' Hicks Owe Massachusetts Everything"

You never know... I do know the plate owner (as I noted earlier) is not a NH native. I think many would be surprised by how few NH natives there are out there.
I'm local but not native

My New York in-laws were up for a visit. Nice folks. When they were returning home things started to go wrong.

The closer they got to NYC the more people in other cars were yelling at them and making gestures. They didn't know why.

When they parked the car they noticed that some trickster had put a "Yankees Suck" bumper sticker on their car.

Gee whiz. Guess who they blamed?

Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk....

"EMO" "HOG" (Go Home spelled backwards).
