And that’s the short form.

The long form is Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaug.

Translated, it means “You fish your side of the lake. I fish my side. Nobody fishes the middle.”

About half the cranberries grown in the United States come from southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod, and nearby islands.
