My wife is from Saguenay, Québec and there is a large bay there named Baie des Ha! Ha! which is fed by the Rivière Ha! Ha!, both of which take their name from this feature. There are also other locations in the area that use this as a name.
Oh I love that song….
Baie-des-hi
Baie-des-hu
Baie-des-ha
Baie-des-ha-ha
Ah, the Nous Mas Nous Mas song!
Vraiment? C'est ça l'origine du nom? Aujourd'hui j'ai appris quelque-chose!
If it's French, why didn't we use this to keep the Germans away instead of the Maginot line? The Panzers would have come, been on the lower part, gone Ha ha and come back home defeated.
Ha ha doesn't work on Germans because we have no humor
Germans are known to be great leapers. Source: my thumb.
