I mean, come on people! The name of Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is spelled Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, not Chargoggagoggmanchaoggagoggchaubunaguhgamaugg! :rofl:
It's a lake in southern Massachusetts, that is the longest 'place name' in the country. Native American legend says the lake was a common meeting place because it was near several tribal borders. Because of this, quarrels broke out among the local tribe over fishing rights in the lake. The squabbles were resolved by a simple treaty:
"Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg"
Or...
"You fish on your side of the lake, I'll fish on my side of the lake, and no one fishes in the middle"
