Hey 'ya guys! It'd be funny when we hear ridiculous long names of people/things. And it would be even funnier when it is a place. Seriously people! There're places with longest and ridiculous names that you might never heard before. I bet you can never pronounce it correctly in the first attempt :P
1.Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu
This holds the Guinness World Record for the longest place name. People call it shortly as 'Taumata'.
It is named for the 100 km hill located in New Zealand. The meaning of the name is "The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one". Seems a weird story! Haha..
2.Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg
Lake Chaubunagungamaug aka Webster lake, is situated on Webster, Massachusetts, United States. The origin of the name is from Nipmuc, an Algonquian language. It means "Fishing Place at the Boundaries -- Neutral Meeting Grounds".
3. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
This place is actually a large village and community on Anglesey in Wales, located on the Menai Strait next to the Britannia Bridge. It's shortly called as Llanfairpwllgwyngyll or Llanfair PG. Even the visitors stop at the railway station just to take pictures covering the station sign board. Funny fact!
