The Merriam-Webster dictionary is getting to be one of the more pungent tongue-in-cheek Twitter accounts (although it's still no Wendy's).  So far, it has taken 11 occasions to correct our Pumpkin-in-Chief on his misuse or misspelling.

Here's an example, from last August, after the big ol' bigot told his rally audience of bigots that Hillary Clinton was the real bigot.

If I were designing dictionary technology, I would set this up so that when a Trump supporter looked up this word, it would say,

big-ot n. see mirror.  No, not in the dictionary.  In your bathroom.

There's lots more fun at the Daily Dot.  Check it out.
