Covfefe

"Covfefe" is an accidental cultural appropriation and bastardization of two Samoan words conjoined by an arbitrary "v":

"ko," meaning "pregnant; to pick a fruit; or to reach for something;"

and "fefe," meaning "fear; afraid; or an expression of mockery."

(Indented text above excerpted from Huffington Post's article "The meaning of the word 'covfefe' in the Samoan language".)

"Covfefe" was hastily, unintentionally, and irrevocably lexicalized by pre-impeached U.S. "President" Donald Trump in his typical manner of sharing everything he thinks with everyone, without actually thinking it through first.

"Covfefe" became a permanent addition to the pop-culture lexicon as Trump was publicly whining about "negative press" instead of being an actual leader focused on anything other than his own fragile, narcissistic ego. Trump's fear of others' opinions was the impetus for this delightful new word which is surpassed in its versatility only by the word "smurf" (which only slightly eclipses the versatility of the word "fuck").

What's "covfefe" mean? It's our word. It means whatever we want it to mean.
Civil Rights Movement? LoL covfefe that shit. TRAVEL BAN!!!

Trump is undoubtedly a smurfing covfefeur.

Trump has taught you well. But you are not a covfefe yet.

All this fake news Trump keeps covfefing is delusional, hyperbolic propaganda.

Trump's gonna get us into covfefing World War III if YOU don't start acting like a gorramn citizen and get this assclown out of the covfefing office right NAOW.

Inserting covfefe into SBemail #128 (RAMPAGE):

The covfefe's the limit as far as rampages are concerned. Why, ye could go on a regal rampage. "I covfeferically bequeath thee! I covfeferically bequeath thee! I covfeferically bequeath thee!" Ye hath quivered me covfefe tuppence!

Get the covfefe out of here.

Let's explore some interesting unintended synergies:

Trump fruitfully reaches his audiences through fear by appealing to their misdirected concerns about immigrants and minorities who he mocks and scapegoats (...while simultaneously supporting big business that outsources the jobs his audience falsely perceives immigrants to be "taking from them"). This is one mechanism through which he "picked the fruit" of the U.S. Presidency.

Donald Trump misspells the word "Coverage" at midnight and it becomes an instant meme. Some say it's military launch codes, some think he is saying to S U B S C R I B E T O D O L A N D A R K, and some are making a typo into something he should be impeached by.
