Nick and I noticed that this year's spelling tournament
Had Wall Street vibes.
We dove in T-boy style.
Turns out all the big spelling bee words kind of go back to business.
The winning word in 1956 was condominium.
Condominium.
Jack, can you use it in a sentence for us?
I love my condominium, but I hate the HOF.
Okay, the winning word back in 2018, it was maroukane.
It's a proper noun of Arabic origin.
It's an ancient luxury fabric that was once used as currency.
You sound pretty confident there.
Can you spell the word though, Jack?
Can you say it again?
Okay, maroukane.
M-A-U-R-A.
Okay, and next up, the big spelling bee word this year was actually nouveau.
As in, she got engaged to Alo Yoga because she's nouveau riche.
Can you spell that one though, Jack?
That means new rich, right?
