~:C.C.4.U:~ What the “Bee” in “Spelling Bee” Means

What the "Bee" in "Spelling Bee" Means

Posted: 10 Jun 2011 12:53 PM PDT

Today I found out what the "bee" in "spelling bee" means.

While no one knows exactly where the word derives from, the "bee" in "spelling bee" simply means something to the effect of "gathering" or "get together". The earliest documented case of this word appearing with this meaning was in 1769, referring to a "spinning bee", where people would gather to protest purchasing goods from Britain due to the high taxes on those items.

Other gatherings that were commonly labeled with "bee" were: apple bee, logging bee, quilting bee, barn bee, hanging bee, sewing bee, field bee, and corn husking bee, among others. Basically, any sort of major competition or work gathering, with a specific task in mind, tended to get the "bee" label added on the end. With many of these bees being tedious work events, it was also customary to serve refreshments and provide entertainment at the end of the task.

The first documented case of a spelling bee called such was in 1825. However, it is likely that there were spelling bees before this date. This was simply the first time someone seems to have written down in print that has survived to today "spelling bee".

There are a variety of theories as to where this word derives from. It was long thought that it simply came from the similarity between insect bees working together towards a specific task and a gathering of people to accomplish some task. This etymology though has no specific documented evidence to support it; rather, simply stems from a logical leap. However, today most etymologists think this theory is incorrect.

The popular theory among etymologists today is that it is more likely that the actual origin of "bee", in the sense of "gathering", derives from the Old English bēn (prayer / favor). This, in turn, gave rise to the Middle English "bene", which had more or less the same meaning as bēn except now adding "an extra service by a tenant to his lord". Finally, this resulted in "bean" meaning "help given by neighbors". The British dialectic version of this word is then "bee".

Bonus Factoids:

The word "spell" comes from the Proto-Germanic "spellan", meaning "to tell".
The first National Spelling Bee was in 1925 and was sponsored by the Louisville Courier-Journal. At first, they were only going to include contestants from Kentucky, but eventually decided to invite other newspapers to sponsor champions of other states. Nine finalists competed in that first spelling bee in Washington D.C. The winning word that year was "gladiolus", spelled by Frank Neuhauser.
In 1941, E.W. Scripps Company began sponsoring the National Spelling, subsequently changing the name to Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Scripps offers a study booklet to prospective contestants that contains around 1000-4,000 words, depending on the year. They also currently offer a list of over 24,000 words that include all words used in the National Spelling Bee since 1950, sorted by frequency of use in the contest.
To date, 45 girls have won the spelling bee vs. 41 boys.
Co-champions, as illustrated on "Akeelah and the Bee", have been declared three times, in 1950, 1957, and 1962.
The word that has been used the most in the National Spelling Bee is: connoisseur
The winner of the National Spelling Bee receives several prizes including: $30,000 cash prize from the National Spelling Bee; $5,000 cash prize from Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation; $2,500 savings bond; a complete reference library from Merriam-Webster; a lifetime membership to Britannica Online Premium Encyclopedia; $2,600 worth of reference works; and a trophy. The second place contestant receives $12,500.
Along with the much more famous children's spelling bee, there is also a senior (50 or older) spelling bee which is sponsored by the Wyoming AARP. In the 15 years that it has been running, the biggest standout has been Maria Dawson, who won in back to back years.

~:C.C.4.U:~ Levels Of Stress

Levels Of Stress

You pick up a hitchhiker... A beautiful girl.

Suddenly she faints inside your car and you take her to the hospital.
Now that's stressful. But at the hospital, they say she is pregnant & Congratulate you that you're going to be a father. You say that you are not the father, but the girl says you are. This is getting very stressful! You request a DNA test to prove that you are not the father. After the tests are completed, The doctor says the test shows you're infertile, And probably have been since birth. You're extremely stressed but relieved.
On your way back home, you think about your 5 kids at home.

~:C.C.4.U:~ Smart Engineer!

Good to be knowledgeable BUT LEARN when not to expose the same!

Smart Engineer

Three guys go down to Mexico one night, get drunk and wake up in jail. They find out that they're to be executed for their crimes but none of them can remember what they have done.

The first one is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if he has any last words. He says, "I am a priest and I believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on behalf of the innocent." They throw the switch and nothing happens; so they figure God must not want this guy to die, and let him go.

The second one is strapped in and gives his last words. "I am an attorney and I believe in the eternal power of Justice to intervene on the part of the innocent." The switch is thrown and again nothing happens.

Figuring the law is on this guy's side, they let him go.

The last one is strapped in and say's "I'm an electrical engineer, and I'll tell you right now, you'll never electrocute anybody if you don't connect those two wires." God rest his soul.
