The fixes along this route spell out a phrase: "BESTT CNTLR EVRRR WORXS ANGRI TDAAY" (Best Controller Ever Works Angrily Today).
The author speculates about the backstory behind this unusual naming convention and the implication of an "angry" controller.

I just recently ran across the WORXS 2 arrival into Greenville Spartanburg International airport. It includes the fixes: BESTT CNTLR EVRRR WORXS ANGRI TDAAY.
