Could we proud Democrats please stop using the word "bigly?" It's a stupid word invented by

[Squinch]

a stupid man.

Sorry to be a grammar nun. But that word makes my teeth itch.

[NCTraveler]

1. Bigly request you have here. nt.

[Squinch]

3. I know. But I hate to immortalize that man's ignorance.

[Orange Free State]

16. He has pretty much immortalized his own ignorance...

He is the only person who could make W. seem like Winston Churchill, and Nixon seem enlightened.

[PoliticAverse]

2. It's a cromulent word and he apparently didn't even use it...

See: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-37483869

[Squinch]

5. Nah. I'm sure I heard him say it. And Thomas Hardy may have used it but he also talked

about bine stems and was fevourless. And he wasn't a moron, so he's allowed. Plus he's dead. So there's that.

[louis-t]

7. And 'big league' is just as annoying.

[Squinch]

8. PS, "cromulent" is awesome. But it does sound like something that should be buttered.

[forgotmylogin]

12. Yessss...

Something buttered in its myriad close-set holes, which will become delicious moist crevices, oozing with slickness.

(Sorry, gratuitous overuse of everyone's least favorite words... )

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. "Cromulent," he muttered, as he gyred and gimbled in the wabe... nt

[Squinch]

24. TGI Brillig!

[Orange Free State]

20. Is that a Star Trek reference? Werent

the Cromulents an evil planet of warmongers?

[Maeve]

22. The Simpsons eom (but it DOES sound like Romulans!)

[samnsara]

4. i never use it..nor do i say Russhur or pennenshula,

[Squinch]

6. Or "Jienah"

[forgotmylogin]

13. "Radical 'Slamist Terra"

[Vogon_Glory]

9. Not while that man is in the White House

I tend to use “bigly” when I’m being bitter, sarcastic, or ironic. After that man leaves office, THEN I’ll consider dropping it, after I give an immense sigh of relief.

[FSogol]

10. It is being used to mock, just like "Moran" n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. No, it's the perfect demonstration of Trump's stupidity.

Everyone knows he's trying to say "big league" but it comes out "bigly".

Trump's defenders will adamantly insist that he's trying to say "big league" and technically they're correct. But we'll continue to throw it in their faces that it sounds like "bigly."

I'll put it this way: I'll stop using "bigly" when they stop referring to the "Democrat party."

[unblock]

18. *** Thread winner here!

[Orange Free State]

14. Naaaaah....

It is fun to make fun of him by using his invented words, so just relax and go have some covfefe.

[JDC]

15. A strongly idea!

[Kirk Lover]

17. It's big league and I don't like using any words this asshole coins and if

I do it's to troll a deplorable which I must say I do exceedingly well. At least I'm good at sumthin'. LOL

[Ms. Toad]

19. The stupid man didn't invent it. We did.

He's saying big league, with very poor enunciation so it sounds like bigly. Watch his lips when he says it - what he is saying is clear, and it isn't bigly.

Makes my teeth itch, too - but largely because we look stupid when we insist on making fun of him for something he didn't do.

[djg21]

21. The Idiot in Chief said Big League.

I wish he had said “bigly,” but irrespective he is an incompetent demagogue and in over well his head.
