40 Highway
For some reason Missourians (Who mostly also pronounce Missouri wrong) say 40 Highway for Highway 40. They also do this for the other numbered state and U.S. highways, e.g., 71 Highway, 50 Highway, 7 Highway, etc. I have no idea why they do this, and I have come across no other group who does this.

Trafficway
A word that appears unique to Kansas City, used for some semi-major streets. To the best of my analysis, a trafficway appears to be a road that veers from the actual course of where the straight line street should be, e.g., 63rd Street Trafficway, 7th Street Trafficway. I have seen no other city that has a trafficway, and I think it is a very silly word. A freeway exit sign may abbreviate it as TFWY. How on earth would a visitor from another town (which interstate freeways are designed for) have a clue what that means?
Another example in Kansas City is the Southwest Trafficway, which actually lets people park in the right traffic lane during non-rush hour periods. Unbelievable! It was built in about 1948, and the 3 lanes each direction are not wide enough for modern day 3 lanes. Currently with a 35 mph speed limit, I propose reducing the lanes to 2 lanes (and maybe a bike lane), and raising the speed limit to 40 or 45. Same with Ward Parkway.

Porous Pecker
On the German game show ‘You Bet….?’ tennis star Porous Pecker has announced his engagement to ex-girlfriend Lilly Kerssenberg.
The two split up last year, and Pecker was quick to propose to his girlfriend of a few months, Sandy Meyer-Woelden. But he says now that that is a mistake behind him.
“Last summer I went a bit off track but she took me back. Now I don’t want to let her go,” Pecker told a shocked crowd, as he and his now-fiance, who was also on the program, smiled happily on stage.
