The longest one I know is Reichseisenbahnhinunherschiebergehilfe……???????????? Well apparently....... The longest place name in the world belongs to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, New Zealand. It is a Maori word for a hill in the country's North Island. While some place names in the world are very short, there are places with names that are exceptionally long. Often times, these place names will be shortened for both ease of reference and pronunciation. However, their original long names live on in infamy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fangless Posted July 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2021 A man went to a job interview. His CV was fantastic, and his qualities during the interview were obvious and made him a perfect fit for the company. The interviewers were very impressed. You’re a strong candidate, and we would like to hire you. However, there’s this five-year gap in your CV. What were you doing during that time? I went to Yale. Wow, great! That's even better You’re hired! Yay, I got a yob! Screamed the man 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Mr Murphy, We are pleased to inform you that the biopsy of the redness on your penis showed it was not cancerous. It was lipstick. We deeply regret the amputation. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
