Bigly
A new term/word for 2016 from the 2016 Presidential Campaign. The poor enunciation of "Big League"[1] misunderstood by many as Bigly. Donald Trump is primarily credited with this pronunciation. I have heard one other instance where a Republican strategist while on CNN used the term "Big League" and was asked by the host; was he saying "Big League" or "Bigly"?
quote from Donald J. Trump Sr.:[2]
“I use ‘big league,’ ” Trump responded.
Trump has used the phrase throughout the campaign cycle, but it has been transcribed as both "big league" and "bigly."
