Gjedebukkebeens-Overogundergeneralkrigskommandeersergeant (Danish) - the name of a certain wooden figure on an old cupboard in "The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep" by H.C. Andersen.
In English I have found the 'translation'
"General Headquarters-Hindquarters-Gives-Orders-Front-and-Rear-Sergea nt-Billygoat-Legs",
while the Russian version is
"обер-унтер-генерал-кригскомисса р-сержант Козлоног"
(PS: the forum software added a couple of extra spaces)

I think that this is used mainly in Latin America because I'd normally call a peach "un melocotón".
