From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Chaubunagungamaug (pronounced /tʃəˌbʌnəˈɡʌŋɡəmɑːɡ/), also known as Webster Lake, is a lake in the town of Webster, Massachusetts, United States. It is located near the Connecticut border and has a surface area of 1,442 acres (5.83 km²). The translation of the name of the lake is believed to be, "Fishing Place at the Boundaries -- Neutral Meeting Grounds".[1] This is different from the translation, "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, and nobody fish in the middle", a hoax believed to have been concocted by the late Laurence J. Daly, a Worcester newspaper correspondent.
Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg (/ˌleɪk tʃəˈɡɑːɡəɡɑːɡ ˌmænˈtʃɑːɡəɡɑːɡ tʃəˌbʌnəˈɡʌŋɡəmɑːɡ/[1][2]), a 45-letter alternative name for this body of water, is often cited as the longest place name in the United States and one of the longest in the world. Today, "Webster Lake" may be the name most used, but some (including many residents of Webster), take pride in reeling off the longer versions.
This lake has several alternative names. Lake Chaubunagungamaug is the name of the lake as recognized by the U.S. Department of the Interior,[3] however, many area residents, as well as the official website of the town of Webster, consider the longer version correct.[4]
The name comes from the language of the local Nipmuc people. The lake was an important fishing spot on the borders of several tribal territories and lay at the nexus of many local paths of the Great Trail system. For these reasons the lake was often used as a meeting place.
Algonquian-speaking peoples had several different names for the lake as recorded on old maps and historical records. However, all of these were similar in part and had almost the same translation. Among other early names were "Chabanaguncamogue" and "Chaubanagogum".[5] Early town records show the name as "Chabunagungamaug Pond", also the name of the local Nipmuc town (recorded in 1668 and 1674 with somewhat different spellings). This has been translated as 'boundary fishing place',[6] but something close to "fishing place at the boundary" or "that which is a divided island lake" may be more accurate.[7]
I was told by my father that this translates to "you fish on your side, I'll fish on my side, nobody fishes in the middle" or something like that.
Its a treaty between the Abenaqui and the monadnock indians I believe
lol, that's cool xD
ReverendRedMage Yea. I saw it on Pinterest
That’s what it means.
That is exactly correct!
It means:
You fish on your side, I fish on my side, nobody fishes in the middle.
This guy gets mad props for not losing it and laughing while trying to say this on live TV.
He didn’t say it right , he skipped some letters big time
The best was still the reporters trying not to laugh while talking about jenkems
Nothing is funny tbh

Thanks Wiki :D
Hello from 8 yrs in the future
@@KM-sb3zk And a good hello to you from 1 year in the future
@@Connie_TinuityError hello from 10 months from the future
I lived in this town my entire life....and I still can't pronounce the name. X'D
There's even a lake song... which I can't even sing either haha.
Suzie, how are you now?
2022?
put this on wheel of fortune!! I can hear Pat Sajak saying, "why, yes, there are 15 g's. would you like to solve the puzzle?"
The longest place name for a geographic location in an English speaking country is "Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu", which is the name of a 1,000' tall hill in New Zealand. Note this is for an English speaking country. Supposedly the true name of Bangkok China is the absolute longest if taken phonetically.... From the four dots at the end of this sentence, typing that out would overrun by 35 characters (so 158 characters).
300 ft actually
bangkok is in thailand but yea i think the name is 21 words, i had a few friends that tried to memorise it idk why they did though
I wonder how many times he said fuck this before he got it right haha
Joshua Baham he didn't get it right
My lottery dream home on HGTV brought me here in 2019 ... Whew! What a name! David was a champ pronouncing this!
0:11
Somehow i cracked up with that small pause before he said "simply call it... Lake Webster" LMAO
It's not that hard to pronounce the name of this lake - nearly everybody in New England knows how. Split it up into three parts
Char-gog-a-gog
Man-chog-a-gog
Chabun-a-gunga-mog

Hello from 10 yrs in the future
Beautifully Explained. I get it now.

@woodscritter The only motel I can remember was Tip Top Inn, near the state line. Webster hasn't had any motels for a long time.

Give this guy a raise!!!
LMAO!! did he ever butcher that! I am a Webster native, however I moved away from there when I was a teenager. However, as a young kid in the 60s, I practiced saying that name properly, which isn’t a name it’s actually a saying - The logo on Webster bottling company’s soda bottles, had a drawing of Webster lake with, “you fish on your side, I fish on my side, nobody fish in the middle in its native Nipmonk Indian Language - And it’s native tongue written in a semi circle above the drawing of the lake. I wish I could audio here, because I know I pronounce it correctly! I miss the beauty of the Webster area. It’s nice to reminisce.
@apria0303 your right if your talking abvout lake webster its webster lake as we call it in worcester

Holy fucking shit. Sounds like a chicken :P
+Matthias Goldinger lol
Well, that was certainly news worthy.
I live by lake Webster and I got a t-short for learning to pronounce it and now I have never forgotten, he messed it up badly to say the least
When the spacebar's not working
how did they notice the error?
@richventures LMAO :))))))
I live in Webster and you, sir, have made my day!
@apria0303 it does not mean that. It means - "Englishmen at Manchaug at the Fishing Place at the Boundary" in short it means "Fishing Place at the Boundary".
PLEASE make an addition to Pronunciation Manual for this
“Her name is Dr. Ann”
“Oh.”
“ANN T. DISESTABLISHMENTERRIASISM.”

Same amount of letters in the longest word in the English language. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
Reverend redmage, was exactly as i learned it!
is there anyone here who actually typed the name of the video yourself, instead of copy-paste :P
the scrolling headlines on the bottom almost seem like a parody of the fearful reactionary fox news
i give after the 1st syllable
the meaning of the name originated with the local natives and it means .... you fish your side, i fish my side, nobody fish in the middle.... true story ... google it
hahahahah love his pronounciation.
I think you meant humorous, there buddy.
Lake Chagoggaggoggaggoggaggoggag
I laughed when he said the name omg LOL XD
Sooooo bad
Someone had a bad stroke in the middle of saying it.
He killed that shit!
The hardest part is actually spelling it ngl(I tried)💀
Probably the poor sap it was named after.
Ovuvuevuevue Enyetuenwuevue Ugbemugbem Osas just can't beat it.

O ya, I thought I noticed those spelling mistakes......
I love living in Massachusetts. It's always a 'trip.' ♥ lol
Anyone else realize it has 17 G's?
Translation: "The lake of us in the present time, but in future the lake of white man named chargog who shits on buffalo."
I copied and pasted the name to the search bar
Who caught the spelling error? lol.
If someone were to say the name of the lake for me I would ask them what is wrong with their mouths or if they're hyperventilating
Now that's a guy who cares about grammar.
Kids it looks like we are going to lake gogoaogaogoaogoaogaogomanahgaigoaogaogogogogo for vacation..
