Ok, take a deep breath and try to pronounce it:
"Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg"
Believe it or not, as you could see in the signal above this is actually the 45-letters true name of a lake in Massachussets (the longest geographical name in the U.S.A.). Today, "Webster Lake" may be the name most used, but some (including many residents of Webster), take pride in reeling off the official version. The name comes from the language of the local Nipmuck people and means something close to "fishing place at the boundary". For more info click here
