Oh yeah. Every 5 year old’s favorite lake!

I still do that every tome I write it - Em Eye Ess Ess

Almost too many to think of in New Jersey. Sometimes it seems like 90% of towns and bodies of water come from mostly Lenape words. Some of my favorites:
Ho-Ho-Kus
Shamong
Succasunna
Piscataway
Assiscunk Creek
Watchung (everybody Watchung tonight)
Tuskaloosa
Egegik, AK
Metlakatla, AK
Eek, AK
(one of) the spanish versions of the eeny meeny miny moe rhyme is
“En el lago Titicaca, una vieja haciendo caca, como no tenia papelito se limpio con el dedito y te lo chupaste tú”
“At Lake Titicaca an old woman was pooping, since she didn’t have paper she cleaned herself with her finger and it (the finger) was suck on by you”
If it hasn’t been mentioned already, Humptulips town and river in Washington has always been my snickering favorite.

Or Nothing Atoll from an ancient Crusader Rabbit cartoon.
Or Isle of Lucy from Kentucky Fried Movie
