Covfefe - A most popular, elegant, useful and needed word!

1. Most popular

The most commonly used word in the English language world used to be "the", but no longer! "Covfefe" is now the official most popular word ... at least over the last 24 hours. So, Guinness Book of Records and Wikipedia - please update your records. Just don't ask me how the word has the knack of sticking to the corner of our lips and mainly the lips of Trump's enemies. Isn't it ironical that a word that first originated from Trump's lips ended up on the lips of his enemies? Isn't such lip-to-lip association anathema among enemies? Well, strange happenings do occur in Trump's quantum world.

2. Most elegant

Just look at its spelling: c-o-v-f-e-f-e ... so beautiful. Just say it: cov-fe-fe ... how sensual and sexy. It sounds French, or even Russian (oops!). In my opinion, it is the most elegant word to be coined over the last 400 years!

3. Most useful

For the uninitiated, the word's meaning has already been properly defined and documented (by me). Please see Covfefe - Its Real Meaning

But even I was foxed by its versatility. It was first thought that it refers to the practice of creating, propagating and the false verification and corroboration of fake news (noun). Now I think it can refer to the very fake news thus concocted (noun). It can also be an adjective to describe news outlets or other perpetrators of fake news or even a verb whereby to covfefe something is to commit a crime of fakery. Let me give you an example: "The covfefe (adjective) mainstream media do not hesitate to covfefe (verb) cofefe (noun) against Trump, so much so that covfefe (noun) has become standard industry practice in America! Or is that too much?

4. Most needed

Well, for the last year or two, everybody has been bewildered and agonized by the widespread dissemination of fake news and the difficulty in differentiating truth from falsehood both in the print and the electronic media. Like terrorism, it is something that befuddles our minds. Thank God, for "covfefe" - now we have a simple word for it and is undoubtedly the first step in our quest to banish the cancer of fake news.
