Hols have been great so far (:
Let's just ignore the fact that I haven't done anything productive for schoolwork.Today, I decided to make good use of television time and watch the AMERICAN NATIONAL SPELLING BEE :D (In case you were wondering, it was on one of the sports channels. Sports programmes are educational, no?
Let's just say the programme was... freaky. Contestants were all scary because of their prowess in spelling the weirdest/hardest/funniest of words. And also for the fact that:
1, they read the dictionary. Oh wait, one of them even re-read it
seven times o.O
2, they are 12/13/14 years old.
3, at such young ages they spell words like:
Rorschach, brankursine, basenji, bowdlerize, Huguenot and NUMNAH (hands down my favourite word in the whole episode). If anyone actually understood those 6 words up there that sounded like utter gibberish to me, GO JOIN A SPELLING BEE :D I will personally come down and cheer for you for being such a wordly genius!
Anyway, isn't NUMNAH the coolest word ever. Try saying it fast ten times! Numnahnumnahnumnahnumnahnumnahnumnahnumnahnumnahnumnahnumnah. Haha when the judge person told the contestant "Your word is.. NUMNAH." the whole hall burst out in laughter. Aha yay new word of the day :D
NUMNAH! :D
