Spelling competition for grades four through eight.

The most boring 3-hour competition anyone has ever been to.

1. A spelling competition in which the participants 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 class 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.

phonetic expression of the second letter of the english language's alphabetic system.. subordinate to 'Aay'... or is it 'Csee...?'

This is a term coined by Demarcus Cousins refering to the David versus Goliath match up of Kentucky and Cornell, or as it was coined by The Boston Globe as the Smart kids versus Dumb Kids.

The time where nerds can show off how much their mom makes them read the dictionary, or where some people wonder how they even got there, the Spelling Bee is your literature teacher giving you a random word like Mclntosh to spell out loud so she makes sure the public humiliation is working. Why do you think the literature teacher is so awful?

1. Someone who spells their name when they don’t need to, especially if they start using words. The words chosen are usually random or far more interesting than the person.

2. Someone who has a fucked up name but just won’t spell it and expects you to know how it should be spelled.

That one musical written by William Finn with a long-ass name. It's about a bunch of children with exaggerated personalities and very tragic backstories at a spelling bee. It also boasts the song "My Unfortunate Erection" that will always get censored by the school doing it.

Its a spelling bee, on discord xD
There, people laugh about others because they're FAKE!!!
