The "be best" bs. I think it means that they expect you to fulfill the superlative aspects they might recognize so they will let you survive... their style of hunger games. "So, be best, dahlink", says the FFLOTUS*.

*Fake FLOTUS.

The French had several favorite nicknames for the guillotine: Madame la Guillotine, la Dame (the Lady), la Veuve (the Widow), le Rasoir National (the National Razor), and Louisette. I think we should trademark some of those as well. The way things are going, one never knows what could happen.
