There is a lake in Massachusetts called Lake Chargoggaggoggmanchaugagoggchaubunagungamaug. The name is a Native American word that means ‘You fish on your side, I’ll fish on my side, nobody fish in the middle.’

I know this is a true fact because I had a gig there once.

To: left that other site

Well, the actual translation is disputed, but that’s the real name of the lake. So we just call it Lake Webster.
