wherefore 

Due to the presence of "where", many people mistake this Shakespearean word to mean "where", but it actually means "why".

"...there's the catalog... with a cartoon of Shakespeare's Juliet standing on her balcony, gazing off into the distance, and asking 'Wherefore art thou, teaching aids?' Lower on the page, Romeo stares up at Juliet and says 'Inside! Eighteen new publications plus many other fine materials.'... any teaching aid that advertises itself by questioning its own existance is falling down in the marketing department." -Richard Lederer.
Juliet: (on the balcony, looking off into the distance) "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"

Romeo: (standing right under her, thinking to himself) "Wherefore dost I quander my hour with yonder wayward, motley-minded flax-wench?"

Wherethefuckarewees 

An endangered race of people living in the tall grasslands of the Canadian North. They're name was given by the explorers who first came upon them, after they heard these creatures distinct call "where-the-fuck-are-we", said very fast and at a high pitched tone, and normally when they are seen jumping through the grass. They are a short people; the tallest grow to become 4 feet at the most. They are dwarfed in comparison to the the tall grass, which grows up to 6 and 7 feet. They have evolved to become great jumping beast, jumping up to 7 and 8 feet.

They live in tribal communities with chieftains as there leaders. The Wherethefuckarewees are deeply religious individuals, worshiping the great and almighty God Phalanx.

These people once spread across all of Canada and the Northern United States. After a series of wars between them and the buffalo, and later in history the oppressive white man(who used them as slave labor), the Wherethefuckarewees have become endangered and only live in the northern part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, and in the Northwest Territories.
