Judges’ responses at the Scripps Howard Galactic Spelling Bee
“The origin is Bleerghk.”
“Fyip-nee is a preposition, a noun, and a quorp.”
“Alternate pronunciations include saying fmyrp while creating a space-time disruption that makes it sound more like fmyrrRRRrrrp.”
“Yes, we can use xrxl-krxl in a sentence: ‘When my sister and I xrxl-krxl’ed the vase while our parents were gone, we were forced to engage each other in a battle to the death, after which the victor, I, was to consume the loser’s scalp flesh, as per Xorxl’s Law of 22-839.’”
“I’m sorry, that’s incorrect. The correct spelling is Q-doublezee-I-M-M-twenty-five apostrophes-and an exhalation of shoulder-steam or in your case an exhalation from your provided shoulder-steam cannon. Thank you.”
“The origin is human and, later, H’n’n’n’n’n.”
