There are a few similar phrases in finnish too. In this one, it's not the same word, just a few very similar words, but just try saying it fast. Or at all.

"Kokoa kokko kokoon. Koko kokkoko? Koko kokko."

EDIT:

Hell, there's a town near where I live called Georgetown. Buffalo ain't got shit on that level of stupid.

I prefer those little american towns supposedly called 'Paris' or 'Rome' etc.

I can only assume this phrase is extolling the Finns love of cocoa puffs.

There is actually a Rome, Wisconsin. There is also a town called Maine, like the state.

My favorite, though, is Hell, Michigan.
