Try this:

spell -b
bodys
^D

I've been working on a spell correction program for somewhile (in my
spare time). To generate a dictionary I took the contents of our
news spool directory, tokenised it and did a sort -u. I then passed
it through spell(1) to remove the garbage. When I came to look at
what spell had accepted I decided never to use spell again!
