OMG. Just, OMG. If there were no other reason to vote against Trump, "bigly" would be enough . . .

My husband thought he said big league. I had to tell him that he has actually used that term before. UGH!!!
Ms. Yertle
(466 posts)5. I thought it was "big league" at first, too
The 2nd and 3rd times he enunciated so that it was clear it was "bigly."
Bigly, nukular, misunderestimate, can any of them speak correctly???

No, Donald Trump Did Not Say Bigly During His Victory Speech
While cable news was busy trying to help Donald Trump reset the narrative of overt racism that took over his campaign the past week by underanalyzing his victory speech Tuesday night, the internet was abuzz over Trumps alleged coinage of the word bigly, which became a trending topic as the night wore on. The term in question is one which Trump actually uses quite frequently, including in his now-infamous Mexican Rapists announcement speech a year ago. Heres Trump last night, along with a few other examples for comparison:
As is crystal clear to anyone listening with a fair ear, Trump is saying big league, not bigly, although he does tend not to punch that last consonant. But I get it, bigly is funnier, and I wouldnt begrudge anyone having a little fun. Whats weird, though, is when a serious website like Vox reports that he said bigly inches above the transcript theyre posting, which reads big league. How is that even fair?
The internet can be forgiven, but cable news analysts, aside from missing the 400-pound racist elephant in the room, continued to assert that Trump had delivered an on message speech, despite the fact that he blew it on his signature issue. In addition to the beautiful Mexican wall he promises to build, the other way Trump plans to combat the rapist foreigners is through beautiful trade deals, yet Trump couldnt get the name of the worst trade bogeyman right, even when one of his supporters shouted out No TPP!
On trade, America first means the American worker will have his or her job protected from unfair foreign competition. Whats happening there is absolutely a disgrace.

(466 posts)8. He just said it
about three times. First time, could have been "big league," but the second and third time it was pretty clearly "bigly."

Bu I suspect I'd get called on for playing that word.
Ms. Yertle
(466 posts)9. Using that word over a triple word score
would be grounds for justifiable homicide!
