During the most recent Scripps National Spelling Bee, a contestant was given a hint referencing rapper Drake. The word: Bacchius. Definition: a foot of three syllables that in quantitative meter consists of one short syllable followed by two long ones, and that in accentual meter consists of one unstressed syllable followed by two stressed ones. The now infamous hint: “Rumor has it that Drake’s next mixtape contains a rap in which every verse begins and ends with a bacchius.”
