I’m watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee on television right now. I LOVE this thing!
A very serious-looking Indian boy was just up. His word was “numnah.” The audience chuckled when they heard it, because it sounds like something else. The boy looked like he was concentrating quite hard.
Then he said “numnut” with the same look on his face. And everyone laughed even harder. The official pronouncer corrected him, and the boy said “Oh, NUMnah! THAT’S a relief!”
That’s going to be on the highlight reel and all over the radio tomorrow, fasho.
