lake chargoggaga-whatever

Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, the sign proclaims. This is a real lake, in central MA. 45 letters, 15 of them 'G's. Evidently it means "English knifemen and Nipmuck Indians at the boundary or neutral fishing place." I cannot imagine anyone taking the time to actually pronounce the entire name.
