Change the Name of the Bering Strait to the More Appropriate "Dayum Strait."

Created by D.C. on January 22, 2013

The so-called Bering Strait is a body of water that separates the westernmost point of Alaska from the easternmost point of Russia. Anthropologists speculate that early humans crossed the land-bridge formed by the Bering Strait during the Ice Age, making this strait an extraordinarily significant body of water in human history. The proposed name, the Dayum Strait (for correct pronunciation, see Macklemore's "Thrift Shop": 'Dayum, that's a cold-ass honkey.") is far more appropriate, considering the importance of said body of water, e.g. "Dayum, that's an important strait." And let's face it: no one knows what a Bering is.
