Greetings:

The lake in the United States with the longest name is found just outside of Webster Mass. It is called:

Lake Cargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagunamaugg

According to Chief Wise Owl of the Chaubnuagungamaug band of the Nipmucks the name means: "The fishing place at the boundaries and neutral meeting grounds."

Prouncing it goes something like this: Char-gogg/a-gogg/man-chaugg/a-gogg/chau-bun/a=gun/ga-maugg.

If you ever need to meet with a Nipmunk - at least you can now specify a location!

Rob
