Digging deep into memory on the SUNSS arrival into Phoenix AZ there are waypoints called SLAMN, BBALL, SUNSS and HOOPS, named after the Phoenix Suns NBA team.

Also somewhere in Texas, possibly the Dallas area were 4 consecutive intersections called TASTI, BARBQ, BEEFF, RIBZZ. Trust the Texans to think of food.

NW of Palm Springs is the MORON intersection.

On the NOOTN arrival into Las Vagas are 2 intersections called ISAAK and NOOTN, then going the other way are PHIGG and NOOTN (N. American fig rolls are called fig newtons) Also in the Vegas area are BUMMR, VEEVA, SISKL, EBBRT.
