(AP) “Kennyi Aouad, 11, of Terre Haute, Ind., became a crowd favorite after he couldn’t stop laughing when he was given the funky-sounding word “Sardoodledom” (a melodramatic plot). He finally composed himself and asked all sorts of questions about the word — definition, part of speech, alternate pronunciations, use in a sentence — then tried to get an unallowable hint by asking: “Is it kind of like kingdom?” He could hardly believe it when he spelled the word correctly.” (source)
