That is a true place in wales, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the longest named place in the UK as far as im aware, from welsh, The name translates to "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave". been binging your videos found you via another raection channel, keep up all the good work mate
They basically did what Germans did they took a sentence and just smooshed all the words together into one word for no reason other than lost likely to tease people that can't pronounce it at least that's one Welsh place name that isn't just the result of someone's cat walking over the keyboard 😅
As far as I know it's even the longest in Europe and second longest in the world. However, you forgot to mention one important fun fact: One of the two official twin towns of the above-named place in Wales is a French commune by the name of Y, which is the shortest place name in Europe. 🙂

Hey bro, you will gradually realise that us Brits are very sarcastic. Apparently, we invented it lol. There's gonna be times in videos when you think people are serious or weird, but they're just being sarcastic, you'll soon get it lol. In the UK, we call it " Taking the Piss " or " Taking the Mickey " Even us Brits get some of the place names wrong, especially in Wales lol. Another good video, keep up the good work bud 🙏
0:31 Leominster is 'LEMSTER', Bicester is 'BISTER', Godmanchester is 'GUMSTER' (traditionally), Loughborough is 'LUFFBURRA', and Keighley is 'KEETHLEE'. More examples - Ulgham is 'UFFAM', Happisburgh is 'HAYZBURRA', Milngavie is 'MULGUY', Barnoldswick is 'BARLICK', and Woolfardisworthy is 'WOOLZERY'. Examples local to me in North East England - Finchale is 'FINKLE', Houghall is 'HOFFLE', Prudhoe is 'PRUDDA', Cambois is ‘CAMMUS’, and Ireshopeburn is 'EYES-UP-BURN'.
@@oopsdidItypethatoutloud Re Featherstonehaugh, there's an article in Country Life from May 2021 where its pronunciation as "Fanshaw/Fenshaw" is refuted, apparently it's pronounced as it's spelt. It would be interesting to know how the "Fanshaw/Fenshaw" belief originated. Chalmondley on the other hand............
@@oopsdidItypethatoutloud Interesting, especially as the Featherstonehaugh in the article was quite adamant. There's obviously a divide somewhere, I wonder if it's geographical or social?
In parts of the UK we still have different local languages. Scots and Scottish Gaelic in Scotland, Irish in Ireland, Manx in The Isle of Man, Welsh in Wales, And maybe the least common with only about 300 People able to speck it fluently Kernewek in Cornwall.
You are gradually understanding British humour. If you listen to the intro, again you will hear him say that Grimsby is pronounced just as its spelt. You were not being trolled, every place name exists.
We do indeed say telly for television There are a lot of shortened slang words a lot of people use in the UK Wellington boots becomes wellies, isn't it becomes int'it or innit, thanks can become tah, football becomes footy, Christmas is sometimes called crimbo,
yes we use the word telly in the uk,it's short for television. i would suggest you watch it again in your own time so you can pause it and get straight in your head what info they've said as there was a lot in a short space of time and you were laughing through some of it so you could have missed quite a bit. the welsh name is real.
Just a heads up, Map Men go really fast! You may need to watch twice to spot all the jokes and information. And LlanfairPG is a real place. I used to live near it and I can pronounce it, but most people just call it Llanfair P G to save time.
llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch itself is long, but easy to pronounce when you put the sounds together, welsh is very phonetic. Unlike english. Welsh places sound as they appear, if you have the basic knowledge. Places in england? Yeah, I've gotten a bunch of them wrong. They just don't sound like they look.

MapMen are just glorious. Loads of quick wit, dry humour, and tons of facts. So glad to see you react to these guys!
He’s really not lying..quite often shortened to Llanfair PG
He ain't lying 😅
😂😂😂😂I didn’t realize because I kept trying to pronounce everything. Next time I’ll rewind 5-10 sec so I don’t miss anymore jokes💯
literally every single video map men ever make is a masterpiece
Telly is short for television. We also shorten Wellington Boots to wellies, and umbrellas to brollies.
Thank you for that break down, Telly in the US means mobile phone
Jay foreman is a good channel cause it’s the perfect mix of education and humor. Edit: also subbed from this vid
Thank you my friend‼️😃😃🤝
He’s not lying about the place name in Wales - he was lying about Grimsby but you missed that when you tried to pronounce it 😂
😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
No it's true that really is a place name in Wales

Featherstonehaugh is Fenshaw
Or as the locals say Fensha
You forgot Wymondham which is Windam, and Congresbury which is Coonsberry or Congsberry(depending on whether you are from North Somerset or Bristol).

@michaelmclachlan1650
I live near there, and some do say Fanshaw. Including my dad

I made a few US colleagues laugh when, as a Brit, I tried to prononce Tucson as simply Tucson and not "tusson" !
Map Men and Jay Foreman Adverts are always worth watching.

Jay Foreman's brother is one of the best beatboxers in the world. (Beardyman) fun fact
That isn’t Grimsby as it is on the River Humber on the East Coast of England 🏴 my hometown.
What do you mean you are not watching the “Muppets”? 😂
😂😂😂😂😂I’ve watched it too many times as a child, plus I have to hear the re-runs all day because my sister watches it😂😂😂😂

the welsh name is real.
True, i live in Doncaster which was an ex roman fort.

Very true, there’s always something new to learn everyday💯

You need to rewind mate after you’ve paused / commenting over the top - left arrow key yo go back 5 / 10 seconds I think as you’re missing jokes
