Spelling Bee
the most boring 3-hour compet-tion anyone has ever been to.
i fell asleep at the spelling bee.
on acing spelling tests in junior years of education it is custom to receive sweets.
to reach, “spelling bee”, status, one must have been so good at spelling that they consumed so many sweets and have now reached a state of obesity.
ashleigh: look how big that person is, man, that’s insane!
tony: she must have won the spelling bee four years running…
spelling compet-tion for grades four through eight.
i almost one my school’s spelling be twice, but fell short both times.
1. a spelling compet-tion in which the partic-p-nts have to spell the words orally, and sometimes (especially for the finalists) in front of an audience.
2. a character in norton juster’s the phantom tollbooth, which is a play as well as a book. the main character is a boy named milo, who leads a boring, predictable life, until a magic tollbooth appears in his room, and he goes to the worlds of dictionopolis and digitopolis. the spelling bee is, literally, a spelling bee– an actual bee who spells words as he speaks them. the phantom tollbooth is a fantastic “children’s” book, though adults can enjoy it as well, as they will get more of its jokes.
sidenote that has nothing to do with understanding the definition, but is cool: my name is rachel, and the phantom tollbooth was the play my cl-ss did in 5th grade. i was the spelling bee. the only other person i have ever met who even knew there was a play, was also named rachel, also did the play in 5th grade, and was also the spelling bee. we are the same age, so it is possible that we were rehearsing and learning our lines simultaneously, though we didn’t meet until we were cabin-mates at camp a few years later.
1. person running the spelling be: okay, the next word is “antidisestablishmentarianism.”
poor little 4th grader: ummmmm….. come again?
(because most 4th graders don’t say: wtf? how the h-ll am i supposed to spell that, i can’t even pr-nounce it!)
2. the spelling bee is the best part in the phantom tollbooth, seeing as how the other leads were divided into 3 or 4 parts, including a s-x change for milo.
phonetic expression of the second letter of the english language’s alphabetic system.. subordinate to ‘aay’… or is it ‘csee…?’
spelling bee is easy. spelling, t. is an actress…
