What are your favorite Strava segment names?
I wish I were creative, but when I name a segment... it's a road name and direction (yawn). I always enjoy the creative names, here's a couple to start it off:
Dropped a dude on a Cervelo with Your Mom. (flagged as hazardous, for additional giggles).
Colon Blow Sprint (Phil Hartman SNL commercial from back in the 80s)

Look At All The Old People (on a local trail, many benches frequented by the elderly)
Come And Get Aaron Daniels' KOM (entertaining because someone did just that)
Middle of no where (found this one while playing with route creator, I love that it only has 1 attempt since it really is the middle of nowhere)

Most I ride are pretty blandly descriptive, but this one is fairly humorous, traverses a not too great part of a Detroit suburb:

Someone flagged this segment as hazardous so I recreated and renamed it:
Blastin' up the Beav!
It had a similar name before.

I noticed this when I first joined Strava
No Time for a Beer!
So I had to make this one which goes the other way and ends at the pub
Time for a Beer?
There's this one which is usually filled with traffic.
Stop blocking the roads you silly motorists.

Strava users sure aren't Ian Banks.
I browsed locally, but most segments are descriptive. Many of the odd names are on the bike trail, who knows why.
This is on the Little Miami Trail, no idea what it could mean there.
NUTH
The reverse direction:
HTUN - haha
also,
why is there a strava segment on a bike trail?!?
and on the Lebanon trail, a 9% climb (which must surprise a lot of riders, since the connected LMT has no hills over 2% for 78 miles.
There are Hills in Ohio
These sound odd, but are actually descriptive:
on Big Jimmy Hill Road
Big Jimmy
at Rabbit Hash KY
Rabbit Hash Rd Climb

There's a stretch on my path called, "kamikaze squirrels sprint." The squirrels there will dart right across your front wheel. Sadly, I must confess to having hit a couple over the years.
Along the same path about 6 miles east, there's a spot where, when riding at night, rabbits do the exact same thing.

Here's another one I ride often - Fattyboomblatty; and for some reason, I always have the munchies after this segment

Hammer the Stink. I don't think there's a wastewater treatment plant nearby, so the name is a mystery.
Piper's Pain Hill is a Cat 4 climb.
Four Minutes to a heart attack is a 1.7 mile 1% grade.
Forgot to add:
Schott road has Schott to the Heart.
