For what it's worth, ORD was in fact the airport where I heard this -
thanks - puzzling to me that it would be specific to that airport.

The ground controllers at ORD used to have all sorts of cutesy names
for the ramps and taxiways. The following was copied for a web site.

"O'Hare is a bit busier at nine in the morning than JFK would be, but not
enough to be a problem. It's been quite a while since I last originated a
flight from ORD, and among other changes the taxiways have all been renamed
to the modern standard of alphabetic names. This is a bit of a shame, since
ORD taxiways were, at one time, embellished with names of the most
outlandish whimsy, such as the "Scenic", no doubt short for the scenic
route, which that particular piece of concrete may well have been! "Wolf
Road" was the terminology for a short north-south stretch that could, in
fact, be seen as a virtual extension of the real Wolf Rd, a major
thoroughfare just north of the airport. Some names, such as the "Cargo"
were self explanatory (that was the one that ran right by the old cargo
facility, the facility that was torn down to make way for the new
international terminal), while others, such as the "Wedge" are more
nebulous. I suppose that particular taxiway just looked like a wedge from
the air. Who among us really knows now, since all of the original players
are long retired?"

Ah..Yes....aren't we?
