1. A river in southeast Pennsylvania, dividing Philadelphia into West Philly and Center City. It's a tributary of the Delaware.
2. The Schuylkill Expressway, or I-76, also known as the Sure-kill Expressway. An entirely inadequate, dangerous road that connects Philadelphia with the western suburbs and the Pennsylvania turnpike. Expect delays at any given hour, often for no apparent reason. Traffic will suddenly slow to 20mph so that drivers can gape at a bit of interesting debris on the side of the road.
Note: No one from outside the region can pronounce the name of the river. It's not Shooey-el-kill. It's not Skully-kill. Say "SKOO-kul", or "SKOOL-kill", to be proper. Blame some explorer from the Dutch East India Company who could barely find the thing and called it Schuyl Kil, or "hidden creek".

The eastbound Schuylkill's backed up at the Conshohocken curve, with a gaper delay slowing things down from Montgomery to Girard.

A freeway (carrying I-76) from the Walt Whitman Bridge to King of Prussia that is congested, obsolete, and dangerous. Also, any stretch of highway where the speed limit is used more as a "minimal" speed as opposed to a maximum and has tight hairpin curves that people try to imitate Mario Andretti on.
Once on the Schuylkill Expressway, I saw an accident in the middle lane (guy was cut-off), but people drove around him at high speeds like it was more of a road cone than a distressed motorist.

The epitome of the Pennsylvania highway disaster. Always jammed with cars, carrying dumbass Philadelphians, that slow to a crawl to look a piece of tire, or dead groundhog on the side of the road.

Man 2: Hey! Shut the fuck up back there! There's a fuckin rock on the side of the road!
Man 1: Woah, sorry buddy, didn't know it was that major.
