Innocent question: why are they called "speed humps" in Jersey City and "speed bumps" everywhere else in the country? Speed hump is what my dog does when he gets excited. It never doesn't strike me as an odd choice.

A sped hump is smaller in height but wider and are best driven over at 10-15mph. A speed bump is taller and much skinnier and best driven over at 2-10mph

Every dynamic duo on television and movies are described this way.

Jerry and George, for example. Elder Price and Elder Cunningham from The Book of Mormon. Who else?
