Say what?
have you hugged your humuhumunukunukuapuaa today?
The humuhumunukunukuapuaa is about to become Hawaii's state fish again, thanks to a 6-year-old boy. The little fish with the long name -- in Hawaii it's known as the humuhumu for short -- hasn't been the state fish since 1990. That's when the law that made it the state fish expired.
We know what you're really wondering: How do you say the name of the fish? Get ready to say it three times fast:
HOO-moo-HOO-moo-NOO-koo-NOO-koo-AH-poo-AH-ah.
The humuhumunukunukuapuaa isn't even the Hawaiian fish with the longest name. That honor goes to a long-nosed butterflyfish known as the lau-wiliwili-nukunuku-'oi'oi.
