FUN FACT: Llanfairpwllgwyngyll in Wales has the longest placename in Europe. It's also the only interesting fact about Wales. :P

Ooh, it goes by another name for whom the original just was too boring...

 

Llanfair­pwllgwyn­gyllgo­gery­chwyrn­drobwll­llanty­silio­gogo­goch.

 

Does anybody even say "Oh, I come from Llanfair­pwllgwyn­gyllgo­gery­chwyrn­drobwll­llanty­silio­gogo­goch!" "What? Do you have a stutter?" "No, Llanfair­pwllgwyn­gyllgo­gery­chwyrn­drobwll­llanty­silio­gogo­goch. Can-you-hear-me-pro-per-ly?" :P

 

It would be an interesting thing for those speeches where you have to speak for a set time... "Hello, I'm Aiden Pons and I come from Llanfair­pwllgwyn­gyllgo­gery­chwyrn­drobwll­llanty­silio­gogo­goch" There we are, time limit done with and you didn't even start the topic. :P

That's Maori.

 

It's not a NAME so much as a STORY. I don't know how it translates, but basically each chief after the other added a couple more words to it, so we have this waffe-ly googly-goo left over from the years. :P

Sources: I'm a New Zealander and I've done Maori for eight years.

Every time I see the ending of this... word, my mind combines the LEGO Racers PGLLGRN and PGLLYLL cheat codes.
