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

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."

(34,066 posts)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.
