Hauppauge is a town in NY on Long Island. Hauppauge is pronounced HOP-HOG. The American Indians dubbed the area around the headwaters of the Nissequogue (NISS-I-QUOG) River Hauppauge; it means, ?overflowed land? in the Algonquian language. Hauppauge boasts a large industrial park, home of many well-known companies.

That's where they're located... that's why they named themselves that. They're down the Long Island Distressway from here... pronounced hah-pog.

Other weird ones:

Copiague (co-peg)
Connecquot (conneh-quo)
Long Island (lawn-guyland)
