PHL has SCOOL KYILL EXPRS WHEYY (Schuylkill Expressway) on the BOJID arrival. I guess someone got tired of the road being mispronounced?
And someone said this already, but DRUNK is not over Hyannis. Boston also has RIPIT, SWIGG, HAVRD, YAARD, & BGDIG.

It did...but Yabba and Dabba were too close to each other...there were guys calling tower one would say I'm over Yabba..another I'm over Dabba...tower would get the two confused...clear the guy further out to land and not the guy closer to land...or appch would clear a guy to direct Yabba and he'd go to Dabba....just too close of names to be so close to each other.

CVG and LUK have the same problem on an arrival. GAVNN rnav/JAVIT stars have 2 points back to back that have close names. So ZID usually mispronounces one of them. GAVNN(gavin) is pronounced GAYvin and JAVIT is javit. I usually read back "GAVNN with a G" or "JAVIT with a J" when given a direct-to/crossing clearance.
