I don't know if it really helps at all, but a spelling bee can also be called a spelldown, which makes a bit more sense.

wtf is a spelling bee ? a bumble bee with dyslexia ? or perhaps a bee without dyslexia ... if it did have it, it would be a spelling mistake bee.

Lets break down the work pinkie shall we. First we have pin, Now pen comes from the lattin word pein which means pin. Then you have the word kie, a grammatically incorrect meathod of spelling key. Now key comes from the hebrew kien, which means little. Now you put the words together you have pinkie. Tada!!!!!!

Ahaha that's hilarious man. I like going to the movies baked with a bunch of friends, then we laugh at the not funny parts like the THX sound, then the rest of the theatre laughs cuz we sound like idiots. I also want to go to a movie and when it's a quiet part yell something like "Paul, if you're in here, we're all going to Mark's house after the show."

A bee! A bee! Oh, what can that be? A bee is an insect related to wasps. It has four wings. A bee gathers pollen and nectar from flowers, which it uses to make honey and beebread for food. A bee lives in a colony. So, what does this have to do with spelling, you ask? A group of people gathered together to do something is also called a bee. So, a group of people gathered together to challenge each other to spell words correctly is called a Spelling Bee. A group of people gathered together to do work on a sewing project is called a Sewing Bee. Have you ever heard of any other type of bee?
