When you're in 4 SO events. :shock:
When you've placed in the top 10 at the state spelling bee . . . and can spell floccinaucinihilipilification, xanthosis, sprachgefuhl, and pfeffernuss without getting a "brain cramp." :lol:

Yeah. I guess I'm a "nerd." :oops:

When the toughest teacher in the school gives you a 'B', you almost cry.
When you're the first one done with your homework in computer apps and end up on this site.

4 events... not many. I'm lobbying for seven right now.
When you lose the city spelling bee four times in a row (we go straight to nats) to the girl who won last year and get mad that she didn't win sooner... (then she joined our schools' archrivals' SO team.)

When you are solving a crossword puzzle (okay, I could stop with that) and the clue for a 4 letter word is sodium chloride and you think "NaCl" instead of "salt".

pfeffernuss is an awesome word. :D
However i'm just wondering, is the word pronounced differently when it refers to the plural pfeffernusse?

Pachinko.
That's sad. :roll:
