Examples Of Singular Things Named [Blank] [Conjunction] [Blank]

In My Humble Opinion
1

Sorry if the title isn’t clear. I’m looking for singular things (cities, animals, dishes, etc) that have a conjunction in the name.

Some examples:

Trinidad AND Tobago: Nation in the Caribbean Sea, consisting of two main islands and various and sundry other islands, cays, and such.

St. Kitts AND Nevis: Nation in the Caribbean Sea, consisting of two main islands and various and sundry other islands, cays, and such.

Truth OR Consequences: City in New Mexico, USA.

Rawhide AND Bloody Bones: Mythical creature of Ozark Mountain lore.

What are some others?

I assume that settlements that are of the form “[City]-On-[Stream name]” don’t count, because there are dozens if not hundreds of them in England, and at least some in Germany as well.

3

No, because “on” and “upon” and such are prepositions, not conjunctions. But if you can dig up any examples of [City]-and-[Nearby Thing of Importance] it would count.

4

Does 'n count as a conjunction? If so, there’s the Sit 'N Spin and the Close 'N Play.

5

And “[Blank] [Conjunction] [Blank]” seems to be a pretty common pattern for naming pubs and restaurants and such.

6

Lots of bands. Flash and the Pan, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes, Chad and Jeremy, Peter and Gordon, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, et al.

English Foods: bangers and mash, bubble and squeak

7

The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

8

The Bonnie and Clyde gang. Or did they go by “the Barrow gang”?

9

Rub & Tug
Breaking & Entering
Sausage & Biscuit
Smash & Grab
Captain & Tennille

10

Chang and Eng Bunker.

11

Turks and Caicos.

12

Father-and-son businesses of the general format “Wm. Smith and son(s)”

Railroad names, e.g.:
– Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
– Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (The “Rock Island Line”)
– Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway

Financial and Law firms, often named after multiple partners, e.g.:
– Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
– Ziffren, Brittenham, Branca, Fischer, Gilbert-Lurie, Stiffelman, Cook, Johnson, Lande & Wolf

13

14

15

Also, Spanish-style surnames with “y”, e.g.,

16

Is macaroni and cheese (or spaghetti and meatballs) a singular thing? It’s certainly a dish, but macaroni is a thing by itself as is cheese. Similarly in your example, Trinidad and Tobago are each an island which have been merged into one country. Does every married (or perhaps not) couple I know count. Barack and Michelle; one thing? If so how about, Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice; does that count extra?

17

If you don’t know, Truth or Cionsequences used to be called Hot Springs, but changed its name in 1950 to that of a popular radio show in response to a dare/offer:

When I was a kid, Truth or Consequences was still on, having graduated to television. I thought the name of the town was strange and unconnected, until I read about it.
