ROUND 5: To avoid requiring fodient behavior of our commentariat, this is a new thread for Round 5.

Update #1 bar-BOT – Ms. Park of Little Rock gets taken out! Ugh. I do like that the Scripps folks don’t remove gambling and alcohol terms from the list to avoid offending anyone’s sensibilities. (The Pathetic Earthling)

Update #2 We tend to regard Yiddish words as a little unfair and foodie terms easier for us than for the kids. So, of course, the first word anyone spells correctly in this round is a Yiddish food, KIHK-uhl. (Adam)

Update #3 For the second straight year, no Canadians survive Round 5. A 3/3 abattoir of Maple Leaf hopes. It's the worst day for ONttN this year, even more so than Steven Page's leaving Barenaked Ladies (Adam)

Update #4 OH THE HUMANITY (Isaac)

Update #5 Amid all the decimation there is hope: favorites Kennyi Aouad, Kavya Shivashankar, Sidharth Chand all move on.

Update #5.1 Kennyi-Kavya-Sidharth all right in a row now has to be like the 2-3-4 spots in a really good baseball lineup. Not 3-4-5, but 2-3-4. (Isaac)
