if you’re sick, your head can be fuzzy, and your tongue can be furry. doesn’t mean literal fuzz and fur, only fuzz-like, and fur-like. but, i get why it would cause confusion.
“feather road” – or even just “penguin road” – might be a good compromise, as they keep the same number of syllables.
side note: both “syllable counting road” and “semantics road” were cult hits, but didn’t do so well in theaters.
