In 2007, 11-year-old Kennyi Aouad of Terre Haute, Indiana lost his composure but won hearts during a giggling fit that was sparked by the word, "sardoodledom."* Aouad went on to qualify for the National Bee again in 2008 and tied for fifth place in 2009.

*\sar-doo-dle-dom\ noun, mechanically contrived plot structure and stereotyped or unrealistic characterization in drama
