Cow language.
I think that the origin of Azusa comes from “A-to-Z-USA..... meaning California is made up from all comers across the world from A to Z
Uppsala University (on their baseball caps) ((if they actually had baseball caps))
Azusa--The Andrews Sisters (1946)
“Equus” is not English. It’s the Latin word for “horse”.
or University of Utah, whose alumni magazine is called Continuum.

"Azusa stands for everything from A to Z in the U.S.A." has been a phrase used to promote the city by organisations such as the Chamber of Commerce for many years. The place name "Azusa" dates to the Mexican Alta California era in the 19th century when Azusa was used to refer to the San Gabriel Valley and the San Gabriel River. It appears to have been derived from the Tongva place name Asuksagna. The area was part of the Tongva peoples' (Gabrieleño Indians) homeland since at least 55 BC.”
My great-grandmother on my fathers side was a Gabrieleno Indian. According to family lore, she was quite the notorious figure.
I claim double credit for that.
I’d considered the U of U, and passed on it - but you’re right: if one goes to something like Bing images, most of the Ute ball caps are single U’s, but they do have some that carry a “UU” logo. If I wasn’t so lame at html (the FR Sandbox notwithstanding) I’d post a picture of one.
Muumuu is not an English word.
Bookkeeper, most consecutive double letters in the English language. Pretty sure anyway.
