Pippi Longstocking


Pippi Longstocking's full name is: Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephraimsdaughter Longstocking.

On an almost unrelated note, I was surprised to learn how sheep farmers in Lancashire count. It goes like this in their vernacular: "Yan, tan, tethera, methera, pimp, teezar, leezar, cattera, horna, dik, yandik, tandik, tetherdik, bumpit, yan-a-bumpit, tan-a-bumpit, tethera-bumpit, methera-bumpit, jigot."
