Shock Culture Reverse

The other day, I was in a car whose public address system (British English: tannoy) was defective. So, instead of entire town names, you heard the last part of the name.

"Brick Church" became just "church" (Which sounded like the train was delivering you straight to Mass)

"Secaucus" became "caucus" (Congress meeting?) and later "cus" (Hey! Who's a cus?)

"New York's Penn Station" became "Ation"
