SFO has some appropriately Silicon Valley-themed waypoints: the SSTIK5 departure procedure has "CISKO", "EBAYE" and "UTOOB". SFO also has the SNTNA2 departure which has "KYNNG", "KRLOS and "SNTNA" (in that order).
LAS has the GAMES2 arrival which has "FUULL", "HOUZZ" and "BYNGO".
My personal favourites, however, are at Philadelphia (PHL), where there are there two arrivals named after cheesesteak restaurants: JIIMS4 and PAATS4.

11k for three renames? Doesn't this also trigger significantly higher amounts oft maintenance work for aircraft technicians to update aircraft databases on thousands of birds?
The RNAV-16 to KPSM: https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2405/00678R16.PDF
"ITAWT ITAWA PUDYE TTATT" and then (ironically) the missed approach hold is "IDEED"
Kansas City (KMCI) 1R has SLOWE COOKD BARBQ RIBBS and TURKY
Morristown (KMMU) ILS-23 has BADDA BINGG
I mean if the words were FAWK and SXYY then sure but most of these are groan worthy.
