ChargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamauggNo, that's not me just smashing keys on my keyboard, that's apparently the (un)official name for Lake Webster east of Webster, Massachusetts. It's the longest place name in the United States. More information here and here. You can see the sign for the lake here. But I have one question: Can anybody pronounce it? Thanks Barney for the link. 12 Commentsamanda said on 07/31/05 @ 03:22 PM:Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg pronounced char gogga gog man cha ugga gog ch ubuna gun ga ma ugg ????????? Jake said on 07/31/05 @ 03:26 PM: Are you telling me or asking me? I have no clue how to pronounce it. rebecca said on 07/31/05 @ 03:29 PM: Isn't that a fun name? Here's how I was taught to pronounce it: Cha gog a gog man chaug a gog cha bun a gung ga maug. As a bonus, I 'll tell you what it means. "You fish on your side of the lake, I'll fish on my side and no one will fish in the middle." *disclaimer* All information provided to me by my father...who I can only assume is correct :) john said on 08/01/05 @ 04:10 PM: jake, you just blew my mind. chammsmdn. that;s funny. peace yoleen said on 08/01/05 @ 08:13 PM: I 've actually been to that lake. An old roommate of mine had a house there that had been in the family for a long time. We pronounced it: "Let's go over to Jean's house." It's a beautiful little lake.
