Oh, I knew that. I just love the way it sounds. Certain words are simply fun to say.

The one that always cracks me up (small things for small minds, I know) when I'm driving in Wisconsin is the good ol' "Ho Chunk Casino."

Yeah, Winston Blackmore always makes me laugh out loud when I'm tooling through BC.

Koochiching:

This county, established December 19, 1906, bears the Cree name applied by the Ojibwe to Rainy Lake and also to the Rainy River and to its great falls and rapids at International Falls. It is translated by Rev. J. A. Gilfillan as Neighbor Lake and River or, under another interpretation, a lake and river somewhere. He remarked that this word is of difficult or uncertain meaning and that, although in common Ojibwe use, it does not strictly belong to that language.
