The Algonquian Indians addressed the nakakapagpabagabag problem of fishing rights by naming a local lake:
Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.
In the native language of Loup, it means: You fish on your side of the lake, we'll fish on out side of the lake, and no one fishes in the middle. Although, according to wiki, a stricter translation is simply "lake divided by islands".
Now for the really nakakapagpabagabag question: Do I add that word to my spell-check dictionary?
