Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is the longest place name in the United States and 6th longest in the world. The name also contains more instances of the letter "a" (ten) than any other word in the English language.
[ed. I added two spaces to the name to force it to wrap around under the thumbnail. The actual name has no spaces in it.]

Love it that it's out there.
Our father ( born 1912 Idaho, but knew people from all over the country and was a trucker for years ) would sometimes teach us funny things to say. He told us this was a real name, of a real lake and we beleived him!
But there are those who don't believe it exists, because it is sooo fun to say !! He made a point of teaching it to any child who wanted.
Fun :)
