Years ago enroute to NRT from SIN in a 707, noticed that the F/O was looking very intently at the chart, and asked me where "burningtoe" was. This was in the days before unified five letter designations. After listening to the Naha controller for awhile, I explained that was southern US slang for "bonito", which was the outbound fix for the USAF fighters.
