Chargogga-what?

Chargogga-what?

If you've wondered what place in America has the longest name, there's a clear winner. Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamogg is the real name of a lake in Massachusetts. It has 44 letters in it! 15 of them are g's. The name means something like "You fish on your side, I'll fish on my side, and no one fishes in the middle." But no one can agree on how to spell it. The spelling on the town's website doesn't match the lake's road sign pictured on that same page, and some folks say they're both wrong. Maybe that's why people just call it Lake Webster.
