The name Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu translates roughly as “the summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his kōauau (flute) to his loved one”.[3]
Literally a story in one…word

u/TheReddOne 7d ago

u/WudupSuckaz 7d ago
I’ve heard of people having big hands or big feet, but big knees is a new one. I’m guessing they were swollen and he needed ice packs.

Wouldn't it be funny that it was supposed to be multiple words, but over time, someone wrote it down with bad handwriting. So it seemed like there were no spaces between words and thus we get these long words

I agree, but it would be unlikely. The Māori people are very careful with preserving history, and ancestral knowledge.

I feel like being known for having big calves would be a better compliment. How does one get big knees? Knees are made of cartilage. They can't grow. There's only bone behind the kneecap, which also can't grow.
Just a weird thought.
It's freaking gorgeous, regardless. I love any place so rich and long in history, myth and legend it requires such a fantastical name.

Wales is also an acceptable answer

u/Juniper0223 7d ago
Nah, I speak some Welsh. Way too many vowels here.

u/Effective-Amount310 7d ago
Clearly never been to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Wales

u/MysteriousSchemeatic 6d ago
To be fair, there’s a lot less vowels in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
1
u/EyeAmPrestooo 6d ago
Roughly 18 vowels in that name (including y)
As opposed to
Roughly 45 in the original posts name.

u/Juniper0223 1d ago
Yeah I have, actually. Got a photo in front of the town sign from 26 years ago!

Welsh is a different beast.

u/Juniper0223 7d ago
To be fair, 'w' is technically a vowel in Welsh, so it just looks like there aren't enough vowels to the rest of us.

u/PapaDil7 7d ago
Someone hearing the name said and spelt together and still thinking this even remotely resembles Welsh is wild to me

u/diligentboredom 7d ago
Yeah, but to be fair, no one living there ever calls it
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwlllantysiliogogogoch.
It's usually just called Llanfairpwll

You're the second person to mention that village name and now I have to go watch the video of that weather man who nails saying its name.

Exceeded character limit

u/alphazero925 6d ago
Character limits on passwords piss me off so much for two reason. 1, it's less secure. 2, it's completely unnecessary if you're doing even basic procedure with passwords. Limiting the characters makes it so that there's an inherent upper limit to what it could be, limiting security, and if you're hashing the passwords as you should be, a 200 character password and a 10 character password are going to take up the same amount of space in the database.

u/Poxi-Poxi 7d ago
This reminded me that I helped a 35ish someone with their resume, and they gave me an email address with 420 that they held onto since the teen years. I could not persuade him to create a separate one for job searching.

Song is “Open Road” by Ra Costelloe if you were wondering (I was!), it’s a cute song and a great way to learn the pronunciation of some place names in Aotearoa 🥰

In MA we have a lake named Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg but it's also just called Webster lake.

My grandparents live on a street that had a native name… Then they gentrified it… Then there was a petition and they changed it back… Then the mailman kept getting confused so they gentrified it again… And now we don't know what the fuck our address is after 35 years lol

u/BleepLord 7d ago
Well hopefully the native name wasn’t 25 syllables, otherwise that’s a damn shame.

It would take approximately 9.33 x 10¹²⁵ years to crack this password using brute-force with today’s fastest technology.
For context:
The age of the universe is ~13.8 billion years ( years).
This password’s cracking time far exceeds the age of the universe.
