Anyone care to solve?

p.s. the title is supposed to be #how fast...." but this crazy forum does not allow you to edit titles

[Orleander]

I think I might know. I don't want to ruin it for others. I have PMd you my answer.
Considering I have 4 sets of double letters in my name, I kinda notice when they pop up.

[John Connellan]

Ha ha, did you Google it Orleander? Not implying you did, but I was afraid this puzzle wouldn't last too long either because Google has made such searches way too easy or because somebody here must have heard this one before.

p.s. You are right

[John Connellan]

OK, next person who get's it, I will just make it public coz it's probably not that hard to search for

[Anti-Flag]

If I recall correctly there's more than one. ;)

My Dad was big on puzzles. I know a ton of them. I only know yours because of my name. My first guess was Mississippi, but that's obviously wrong. :o

Bookkeeper, Bookkeepers, Bookkeeping.
I suppose we could debate whether or not they should be hyphenated but they're generally acceptable without.
There's also quite a few hyphenated ones, and one place name.

[John Connellan]

Any other words not related to bookkeeping?!

That I can think of there's only hyphenated ones, such as Sweet-Toothed. Do they count?
See if you can guess the place name.

Seeing as your example states it as all one word I'm not sure I follow your obvious humour.:shrug:
