And use in a sentence please?
PANCH- "The inflammation of the urinary bladder"
And use in a sentence please?
PANCH- Yes--it's a body of water pent up behind a floodgate.
Are there any alternative definitions?
CARLY MOM- No. Think.
C-
PANCH- My apologies. Sluice.
Can I have a definition?
PANCH- Cornish dialect, a Latin derivative.
Cornish. That's like English with Dutch influence. Vug. V-U-G-G-H-E. Vugghe.
PANCH- We need a spelling, please, Logainne.
Cystitis. C-Y-S-T-I-T-I-S. Cystitis.
PANCH- "Sally's mother told her it was her cystitis that made her special."
Cystitis. I think I studied this one with my moms.
RONA- Let's allow it this once. Miss Ostrovsky's line, Rona speaking. Just one minute, Logainne.
Doesn't anybody else care about the rules. This bee is about as well organized as Kanye West's presidential campaign. Speaking of which, the entire presidential campaign this year is just ridiculous! I'm sick of famous people treating politics like a game to be won. Kanye West has no political credentials and has no business running for president! I would much rather move to Switzerland where there's at population of 8.6 million, and has a prime skiing time of mid January-mid March which just so happened to be right before the coronavirus pandemic completely shut down everything in our country and is now the reason we have to wear these masks for our spelling bee!!
MARCY- Don't worry, I'm not nervous.
Have you ever been in an underground gymnasium before?
PANCH- Yes--a channel to drain or carry off surplus water.
Hmm. Are there any alternative definitions?
RONA- While the correct response for girls is:
Honestly, I think there's a good chance I would do okay, but it's unlikely that I'd win the whole thing. I'm a good speller, but not a truly great speller, and though I have trained hard there's so much luck involved.
CARLY MOM- And isn't having a magical foot an unfair advantage.
I don't have a magical foot.
BARFEE- Mom, I did it without the foot!
I'd just like to say, Carly Mom--I can do this on my own.
PANCH- So simple.
I'm sorry, moms. I overcomplicated.
RONA- Though in my experience the girls are sometimes thinking:
I'm taking it all. You're all going down, suckas!
PANCH- does anyone mind if we get back to spelling?
I've been waiting for my word.
CARLY MOM- Good.
