Remember this guy? Last year he said live, without a hint of hesitation the name of a little town named "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch".
He looks so proud.

I'm from Wales and the shorter name used is that village with the massive name on Anglesey, because this is still easier #fact
Gladius82
The Victorians gave it that name as a bit of a novelty.

"Parish of St. Mary, Hollow of the White Hazel, Near the Rapid Whirlpool and the Parish of St. Tysilio with a red cave" it is Welsh.

Just call it Llanfair-PG like the fucking rest of us do. Jesus H christ.

"Renamed (elongated) in the 1880s in a joking attempt to attract tourists"

It totally worked though. To this day people visit just to see the funny signs.
DingleWingleShoopDaWoop
You can see him trying not to smile when he finishes the name.
zadel99
He is so proud of himself
FatBastardVegetarian
We nicknamed it "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogo", other name's too long.
Denamic
Much easier now, thanks

Fuck the lame comments. Watch and upvote the clip.

That has to be the most polite comments section in YouTube that I've ever seen.
INSANITYisTEMPORARY
Well... TBH he did only post like 5 comments...
MinotaurRising
Oh I actually went to the YouTube page and read several of the comments and their accompanying replies, it's pretty civil.

It's usually just Llanfair PG to the locals. Watching English people attempt it is a hobby of mine. :)

That'd be one hell of a drive mate. 80 miles or so

As someone in America, that's adorable. I regularly drive 400 miles to see family

Ha, adorable Brits, where 80 miles is a long way away.

Yeah but I couldn't come up with a closer city whose name would be as well-known.

London?

That's even further away, isn't it?

Turns out! I didn't really look at the map and my geography is awful! I know that Bristol is near Cardiff, so I just assumed, like an ass.
TosokTheRodentHunter
It's in Wales. Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave :)

People just say Llanfair PG
nakedfeet
What's the PG for?
FreddieBW
It's a short hand of part of the rest, just defines which Llanfair you're talking about

Gotcha.

Was thinking the same thing... mean house on a hill by a train station or something I think
zadel99
Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.

The thing is, most of these really long names are just sentences without spaces. If you speak the language, it's not too hard to pronounce.

The Welsh hate vowels.

In Welsh, "w" is "oo" and "y" is "u"

Hello, that's a nice tnetennba.

That's helpful for people in Wales
Tohaker
911 is in a lot of countries, but not Wales.

Then why the"we're in the US" and not just "we're not in Wales"?

I didn't do a tonne of research before posting the comment, I'm sorry if that offends you.
