When I was attending the University of Victoria in the early 1980's, a popular graffito was:Nuke Unborn Gay Whales! I believe the intent was to offend as many people as possible in as few words as possible. Succeeded wildly, IMHFO.
according to the town's website, the name was deliberately invented, as a publicity stunt, in order to become the longest place-name (actually, the longest name of a railway stop) in the British Isles. there's a link at the site that you can click on to hear it spoken. keep in mind that the main reason it looks weird to us is that Welsh uses the letters of the familiar alphabet to represent different sounds than does English.
