Spell ‘rigged’, as in “this competition is rigged”.
Spell ‘whether’, as in “I don’t know whether the weather will be fine today”.
Spell ‘intransigence’, as in “the little girl’s intransigence cost her the college of her choice”.
The ‘whether’ part is really evil.
It’s from The Simpons. Lisa and the Spelling Bee.
I remember watching that episode as a kid in Ukrainian dub and being very confused because we don’t have nearly as many fucked up spelling cases to warrant an entire competition just for that.
I don’t get it either, we don’t do them where I live either.
Do any other counties have spelling bees to the same degrees as the USA?
I think it’s only the US. In other countries spelling is a thing you are expected to be able to do it, not something you get a trophy for.
Other languages are spelled the way they sound.
Many, yes, but there are other english speaking countries too, and still the US is the only one with wide-spread spelling competitions.
Spelling bee? Easy:
Bee
Ee
Ee
Release the bees… of triumph!

I’m rooting for space man with the file cabinet.
Bees aren’t aggressive enough for that.
They are if they’re hungry.
Not if you slappin the nest before releasing them
Give em the ol’ shakey shake.
Nothing a large helping of BEES won’t help!
That’d get me to watch.
“Where are all the 'boo’s??”
Suddenly the crowd starts booing the contestant & the boo & the bees mix together on stage exciting everyone.
