Not an IFR waypoint as such but thought an appropriate story...

In Fiji, a VFR waypoint inbound to the Nadi TMA is called the "gap" - had many a laughs entering the TMA with female contollers and they were quite happy to play along also.

Eg,

Me: "Nadi Tower, XXX request clearance to enter via your gap"
Tower: "XXX, cleared to enter via my gap, report on base!"

Hats off to the girls in Nadi tower!
