  • WHAT? (guest)
    It would be Lago Verde! Lago is Spanish for lake, and verde is Spanish for green.

    Green Lake (Loch Verde) was named David Sancho Phillips, a half Scot/half Spanish in the employ of the US Geologic Survey.

    Those receding glaciers sure knew how to artificially inflate housing prices!

    actually the real name is Demasiado trabajo this comes from the Spanish term "to much work" it was named this by Jose Louis a worker at the food chain World Wraps, he has been alive for over 540 years and named it this when he attempted to run around the lake. he realized at the end of his epic journey that it was useless and obnoxious to run for 3 miles so he named the lake "Demasiado trabajo" right after saying "oh well fuck this". if you dont think Im creditable then Google me
