Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.

Yep, I'm sure there are places in India that are like that, I'll have to ask my mom when she gets home.

The longest word in Swedish beats the English one bu very much.

Nordöstersjökustartilleriflygspaningssimulatoranläggningsmaterielunderhållsuppföljningssystemdiskussionsinläggsförberedelsearbeten

130 characters. And it means "Coast artillery flight searching simulator area material maintaining follow-up system discussion post preparation tasks of the Northern Baltic Sea".

Apparently many cultures attribute stories to certain areas, and sometimes portions of those stories become the name for the place. I noticed that a few times when I was living in Samoa as well. There are many places which have names that refer to an event that happened in that place.


I'm aware of that. At least we don't have many of those kinds of place names.

You used to live in Samoa?

Another long place name is this;

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

It's a Welsh railway station, also the longest word in Welsh language. It has 51 characters.

And here are some other long words.

I'm all for long words that make people claw their eyes out through their ears, but I draw a personal line at what looks like you need stones in your throat to pronounce. O_o

There are many places which have names that refer to an event that happened in that place.

So would that be like... (In the language I'm making up) Kjuntschtipdolohkesdadakaesjerooda? (rock where the stupid person jumped and broke his groin) :P I used all of the words, but I could have probably just as easily come up with one that means the same, but only exists regionally.

I think this thread needs a name change again.

I got inspiration from Khartag Point, a big standalone rock near Gnaar Mok in Vvardenfell (TES III, Morrowind). Place was made famous because an orc, on a dare, climbed up the rock and jumped off of it, thinking he would land in the water and survive. He missed.

Uh, let's just move on from internetisms and let this conversation go to wherever we take it. When Strop changes the subject, we'll follow suit.

Yeah when I was younger. My parents sent me to a youth program there, and when I graduated I stayed on as a junior staff member. Ended up spending a total of like 17 months. Absolutely wonderful place. I honestly could live out the rest of my life there.

Hmm.....1913....

Ohh, and that Swedish word I mentioned. It's the longest "actual" word in the world.

Is it a Paradise Island sort of place? Someone told me it was a rather poor place.

I'm half-Samoan. I actually stayed there for some time when I was younger, with my mother's family. Though I had to leave unexpectedly.

Depends on what you do and where you go.

No. And if you are to include chemical names, INCLUDE TITIN!

The place where I was at was Aufaga village, pretty much directly on the other side of the island from Apia

Aufaga? Is that the name of it?

If so, woah. I lived in a close by village, Vavau. Though I was eight, so those were many years ago. Hmm.. No wonder why I spent so many hours on a pickup truck driving from Apia to Vavau.
