Thanks reesetee! Are you in the Garden State, too?

No, but close--I'm in PA, which has its share of strange town names. :-) And I won't even mention any bridges.

Absolutely. I'm originally from Pittsburgh, not far from the Youghiogheny River. Unless I've been mispronouncing it my whole life, the first 'gh' is pronounced like a 'k': Yawk-i-gain-ee.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of another word with a gh that gets pronounced as a k...which means that the rest of my work day is shot as I try.

And now mine is too. At least you're not trying to pronounce Schuylkill. ;-)

I remember the hilarity of driving through Pennsylvania and trying to pronounce the various towns we drove through. That and the Scranton McDonald's.

I'm not even going to ask why the Scranton McDonald's was so memorable. ;-)

I've always been amused by Egg Harbor. And I second Cheesequake. I lived for a number of years just off exit 17 of the GSP and I still giggle whenever I drive by the Cheesequake Rest Area.

What about Bivalve?

Kitinka, kad had a similar list, but she doesn't have a public profile, so I can't seem to track it down.

I am kad, I've just been reborn as kitinka here on Wordnik. When John comes back to the couch I'll ask him why kitinka won out over kad in the Wordie-Wordnik shuffle.
Mollusque, there's a Bivalve, NJ?

Yay! Hi kad! Geez, you'd think you'd have been given preference over the hoi polloi.... :-)

Haaaaay... Who you callin' hoi polloi? I'm takin' sum umbrage to that my friend!

Here's a profile of Bivalve.
Are you the same person as Kat?

Wow... Kinda rough around the edges quaint-looking until you get to picture "04." Then it looks like a dump...

reesetee commented on the list funny-place-names-in-the-garden-state
Oh, I'm hoi polloi too, dontcry; no doubt about it. I'm just saying that kad...well, if she can ask John a question when he comes back to the couch (see below), you'd think she'd get a bit of preference. ;-)

What couch? Is John in therapy? He probably has latent wordie issues. I hope this kad can help him -- although, she seems confused about who she really is...
