Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein
Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein is a farm in the North West province of South Africa, located about 200 km west of Pretoria and 20 km east of Lichtenburg[SUP][1][/SUP]Coordinates: 26°10′S 26°28′E / 26.167°S 26.467°E / -26.167; 26.467 whose 44-character name has entered South African folklore. It is the longest place name in South Africa
The name, which follows a common format for Afrikaans place names in South Africa, is Afrikaans for "The spring where two buffaloes were killed with a single shot". The literal translation is "Twee buffels" = "Two buffaloes", "met een skoot" = "with one shot"; "morsdood" = "stone dead"; "geskiet" = "shot"; "fontein" = "spring (river source)" or "fountain". This name illustrates the compounding nature of Afrikaans.[SUP][5][/SUP] All the descriptive terms relating to one concept can generally be tied together into one long word. Another example of this would be wildewaatlemoenkonfytkompetisiebeoordelaarshandleiding, which translates to "wild watermelon jam competition judge's manual". Such use is, however, not common, and such words are often separated using one or more hyphens if they become too long or unwieldy.

I always thought they should hold all civil court cases in a boxing ring. Honestly, they should. You KNOW the one who was victimized is gonna win the case, because they're madder and got more reason to fight. So it would be justice served. You're welcome.
Spanish can be as tricky as English. The Spanish word boca (or mouth) often described an inlet, while raton (literally mouse) was used as a term for a cowardly thief. But the “Thieves Inlet,” Boca Ratones, appeared on eighteenth century maps associated with an inlet in the Biscayne Bay area of Miami.
It really is a beautiful city.

Point of interest.......I live approx. 10 miles south.......of Boca Ration.....fondly called Boca...It is in fact one of the most beautiful and well keep cities I've ever seen....place where if you are rich ....you can reside there.......turns out though....my SIL worksin Boca.....he installs sprinklers and landscapes so many of these mansions......The people he meets are very kind and generous....always sending toys and clothingto our home for the children who come....shame about the name though....Rats mouth.....big money........guess it does seem fitting...smh..

After all, it takes a village doesn't it? No I'm not endorsing this, but it is funny.
