There’s also waverly place in Lakewood

EDIT: I see this was hugged. If you don’t get it, just ask. Waverly place is the name of a kids show on Disney channel when I was a teenager

There’s a rechov pen*s in yerushalayim. We always pronounce it pee-noss because the actual pronunciation is too cringey for an English speaker say

Look, I'm all for recognizing the importance of women, but I'm pretty sure that most people would agree that the main character in Superman is, literally, Superman.

Lois Lane is a co-worker and perhaps girlfriend of Clark Kent, alias Superman.

Waze uses the cringey pronunciation which matches the nekudot under the letters on the street sign. Set my friend and I off in a fit of giggles the first time we drove there 😂
