anacostia 

A beautiful, incredibly clean river located in the city of Washington in the federal District of Columbia. Known for its crystal-clear, drinkable water that provides life for a thriving ecosystem, people are known to swim in the Anacostia on a regular basis. Rumor has it that some folks who swim it will end up growing another arm; some ascribe this to so-called "pollution" but it's really because the river is magical!

Also the name of the wealthiest neighborhood in Washington, where the streets are practically paved with gold and people dance and laugh and play with a smile on their faces! Come on down!

anacosmism

Something or someone that is not in its correct universe, dimension or cosmic location. Coined by Jennifer Diane Reitz to label errors in fantasy literature where people or things described are specific to Earth and ought not to exist in the fictional universe of the work.

These errors go beyond mere 'anatopism' (referring to something is in the wrong geographic location but at least on the correct planet). Also analogous to anachronism, where something is in the wrong time.
If a sci-fi novel set in the Andromeda galaxy used the months January to June, that would be an anacosmism because the Roman Empire and their calendar never existed in Andromeda.
