Why do you say that dumb word “bigly”?

Trump says “big league”.

Really? First I’ve heard of it.

Yeah.

He occasionally says “big league”, and when he first said it, the “bigly” meme got started - probably at first by someone with poor hearing - but I’m positive it got fueled by Trump haters who wanted to make him sound like a buffoon.

Then, sadly, even Trump supporters started using it because they thought he really said it and that it was cute, I guess.

I’ve noticed over the years when he and his sons say “big league”, now they go out of their way to emphasize the “g” sound - but to no avail…

I try to correct it here on FR - I don’t know why - I guess it is a pet peeve of mine.

Anyway, I’m sure it got started by Trump-haters and leftists - to make him sound ignorant - just like the air-brushed picture of George Bush holding the phone upside down.

Sorry I took my annoyance out on you.. :-)

It was the way some ass wipe urinalist heard it, thought it would make a good word to use to mock Trump the candidate and was subsequently picked up by the mockingbird media. Unfortunately, when some here used it without the (/s) others just picked it up as being the word of DJT.
