spelling bee

1. A spelling competition in which the participants have to spell the words orally, and sometimes (especially for the finalists) in front of an audience.

2. A character in Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth, which is a play as well as a book. The main character is a boy named Milo, who leads a boring, predictable life, until a magic tollbooth appears in his room, and he goes to the worlds of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. The spelling bee is, literally, a spelling bee-- an actual bee who spells words as he speaks them. The Phantom Tollbooth is a fantastic "children's" book, though adults can enjoy it as well, as they will get more of its jokes.
Sidenote that has nothing to do with understanding the definition, but is cool: my name is Rachel, and The Phantom Tollbooth was the play my class did in 5th grade. I was the spelling bee. The only other person I have ever met who even knew there WAS a play, was also named Rachel, also did the play in 5th grade, and was also the spelling bee. We are the same age, so it is possible that we were rehearsing and learning our lines simultaneously, though we didn't meet until we were cabin-mates at camp a few years later.
1. Person running the spelling be: Okay, the next word is "antidisestablishmentarianism."
Poor little 4th grader: Ummmmm..... come again?
(because most 4th graders don't say: WTF? How the hell am I supposed to spell that, I can't even pronounce it!)

2. The spelling bee is the best part in The Phantom Tollbooth, seeing as how the other leads were divided into 3 or 4 parts, including a sex change for Milo.

smelling-like-a-moron 

When one applys so much cologne or body spray that they are literally intoxicating to the opposite sex and horribly repulsive to the same sex.
Jared just emptied half a bottle of Old Spice body spray onto his clothes/body...he smells-like-a-moron!

Smelling the Burnt Almonds 

Cyanide, a compound incredibly poisonous to humans, is commonly said to smell like burnt almonds.
After being hit by a car last week my friend is smelling the burnt almonds.

Spelling Bee

The most boring 3-hour competition anyone has ever been to.
I fell asleep at the spelling bee.

spelling nazi 

In essence, in a chatroom context, a person who insists on rectifying the spelling errors of anyone by rephrasing the said line accordingly. To remain faithful to their cause, they must invariably make no spelling mistakes whatsoever of their own, otherwise he/she is engaging in hypocrisy, in turn, looking like an oblivious dumbass. Further, they justify their cause by asserting that the victims' spelling is "imposible" to read.

What the prick fails to realise is how needless his/her cause really is, seeing as he/she is perfectly capable of construing the sentence containing the spelling errors sufficiently to be able to rephrase it suitably. Ultimately, he/she incurs embarrassment and looks like a total douchebag, as a result.
Random chatroom: Aimee(5) = Spelling nazi. vicki cee(4) = Victim

Aimee(5) (Says to vicki cee(4)) i think you mean 'and I can spell'
vicki cee(4) (Says to Aimee(5)) no a ment a can spell
Aimee(5) *No i meant i can spell

*5 minutes later *

vicki cee(4) (Says to Aimee(5)) wot u have got agent me newayz
Aimee(5) (Says to vicki cee(4)) "wot u have got agent me newayz" .yeah makes no SENCE

smelling cookies 

A way to say that someone looks like they are a homoxexual without saying it out loud. Because gay guys often have a look on their face like they are smelling cookies. It is from a Dane Cook standup comedy joke.
That guy over by the bar is so smelling cookies.
