Homophones they are called, viewer discretion is advised. Do not say this at home.

"Negus" and "numnah" were the two funniest spelling bee videos I've ever seen.

You know he was trying so hard to not spell it as we thought he would. He would rather lose. Kind of sweet.

This is the way to turn the slur around, btw!!!

I thought the same exact thing, but I feel like it wouldn't go over well, especially in today's racial climate.

Why would you even give this word to a kid for a spelling bee?

5 years ago | Likes 28 Dislikes 1

I think televised spelling bees like this are torture.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Pretty sure they’re pronouncing it wrong too. In Star Trek DS9, it was pronounced nay-gus.

5 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 1

But it's not a homophone. E and I sound clearly different. Kinda forced.

Ok but now say it real fast in a conversation.

The E in Cedar, sounds like he pronounces it for Negus. I'm guessing its a followed by 1 or 2 consonnants thing.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

But the E in feral doesn't... But the second E in Cerebral does... but not the second E in Celebrity... I hate this language.

Just noticed "rustle" looks like the original guess.

Those are the free letters they give you for the final puzzle. You then guess a few letters and make your solving final guess.

This is glorious. That's what ACTUALLY happened there. And if Picard is from our future, and is into archaeology, should have gotten it!

Correction, he is from an alternative timeline separated from ours in 1987 (first episode of TNG was aired then)

He did get it, just took him a minute.

That judge is a bastard for putting this kid under so much pressure

He pronounced it wrong too apparently.

The sentence he used! The Negus ruled Ethiopia for a century, come on!

5 years ago | Likes 65 Dislikes 0

Probably wanted to make sure he understood the word was "negus" and not "magus".

5 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Ya I thought it was cause pronunciation was a bit off at first and needed to make sure he was doing that right.

The "wrong" thing in this situation is that the uttering of the wrong sound from the mouth of the wrong skin colour is considered as racist.

Say it again. Louder.

yeah that part was weirrrddd

5 years ago | Likes 85 Dislikes 1

I'm pretty sure they did that so that there knew he wasn't going to use the wrong one. That's why they enunciated the U when saying it back.

The judges don't pick the words, they are drawn from a pool. They might feel uncomfortable, but just "doin the job". FUCK hate bees.

I’m not going to fuck bees out of love or hate.

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

It's not about the word, it's the "say it louder. Say it again. And again" breaking his concentration and making him feel more uncomfortable

5 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 0

I have never ever heard a judge insist the contestant repeat the word let alone “louder for everyone to hear”. That’s intentional bullshit.

5 years ago | Likes 29 Dislikes 0

I dont think you watched the video then!! It's the fact judge made the kid repeat the word 3 times, he is a kid ffs

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

or, heres an idea, curate the pool before hand so that isnt an option to be selected

5 years ago | Likes 41 Dislikes 2

Eh it's a spelling bee and a legitimate word; maybe folks shouldn't be such snowflakes.

5 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 8

It's not tho. You can't use words that sound like nigga anymore even if they're from a foreign language. That'll get you fired.
