Ruby Ruby Basics Ruby Syntax Method Arguments

Dont understand

Define a method named say. The say method should take one parameter (name the parameter whatever you want). In the say method body, take the parameter and pass it to puts as an argument. End your program with a call to the say method, and pass the string "Ruby" as an argument.

I don't understand what they want based on how this is worded

say.rb 
def say(baconbits)
  puts baconbits
end

say

I can't get this to work either. This is what I wrote:

def say(Chuck_Norris)
  puts "Ruby"
end

You are to pass Ruby as an argument:

say("Ruby")
