I think Royal W is pulling your waders. "kill", as in Skuylkill Expressway, the legendary fiasco of a roadway in Philly that follows the river of same name, has two related definitions, namely, "rage" and "wanna go to Idaho". Visitors to the Beaverkill in the Catskills, standing shoulder to shoulder, stuffed with Roscoe Diner donuts, and waiting for Psilotreta caddis flies to hatch could be heard yelling kill, kill, kill. To escape the feelings of "rage" they "moved to Idaho" and that name has been given to many crowded rivers in the Northeast, Battenkill, Paulinskill, Letortskill and Yellow Breecheskill, to name a few. In the West, we have the Madisonkill, Silvercreekskill and a few others that I just can't seem to remember. Perhaps our gang can come up with some others if they have some time to ... never mind. RR
