Knickerbocker nets spelling bee win for fifth grader

The Cambridge Dictionary defines “knickerbocker” as “short, loose pants that fit tightly below the knee, worn especially in the past.” Jared Jimenez, a fifth grader at East Elementary, wasn’t sure what the word meant when she first heard it at last week’s school district spelling bee.  But she knew how to spell it, even with the sneaky silent “k” at the front.  “I don’t know. I’m just so used to the word,” Jared later said.  By acing the spelling of that word, plus others like “testosterone,” “colonel” and “disgorge,” Jared claimed the crown for district-wide spelling bee champion.
