And if you insist on playing by the rules, probably gabagana - enough repeated vowels to trigger a rule exception.

Different version of gibberish, I believe, but point taken. Canada would still have to be Gacaganagada, though, wouldn't it?

Well according to Nanny Ogg the correct spelling is bananananananananana. She knows how to start spelling it but doesn't know where to stop. A bananananananana dakri.

I think I read part of that somewhere before. I say part because I had a panic attack halfway through and had to run away and hide. I read all of it today. Guess that means I'm getting better. Yay. Thanks for the link.

Gibberish likewise means a sort of disguised language, formed by inserting any consonant between each syllable of an English word; in which case it is called the gibberish of the letter inserted: if F, it is the F gibberish; if G, the G gibberish; as in the sentence How do you do? Howg dog youg dog.
- The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue


(Published in, well, 1811. Large parts compiled by one Francis Grose before 1788, but I don't have a copy of that edition to compare. Woe!)
