I subscribe to the Visual Thesaurus on line, and was interested to see an article about a new website called lexicalist. Check it out--it tells you what words are in vogue in various parts of the country. I searched "Spelling Bee" and was dismayed to see that Massachusetts' use of the term was only #36 in the nation.
The site gives you breakout on words used by gender, age, location, and change in frequency. It is going to be fun to explore in greater depth....after I mow the yard.
Enjoy!
