Well, yes, I know, missy, and I'm also kinda proud that you can spell "Tchoupitoulas"! Hee!
Of course, down on the MS Gulf Coast, we had lots of strange names, as well. I mean, I love New Orleans (which, btw, may be the most mis-pronounced city name EVAH!) but it doesn't have a monopoly.
Fave example? Try that lovely river that runs up country from Back Bay in Biloxi - the Tchouticabouffa. Pronounced, I kid you not - Chew-ti-ca-BLUFF. I mean, seriously - do you even SEE an *L* in there? ;)
