Not since Spike Milligans nonsense verse, or James Joyce idiosyncratic language in Finnegans wake, has one persons twist on the English language invented so many new words. Most, such as “bigly”, we get their meaning, but some, such as the kerfuffle raised over “covfefe” defy analysis… with as many opinions as people talkin about it… and this is my satirical take on it!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Donald<\/a>
Donald Trumps Covfefe Tweet defies translation… not a conlang, not a dialect, not even Carty English can decipher its meaning…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Covfefe is a baffling word
\nTo other folk it seems
\nCovfefe means to those who think
\nWhat they think it means.<\/p>\n

Covfefe is understood by those who matter
\nIf understand it you dont
\nThen you dont matter
\nYou never did or wont.<\/p>\n

Covfefe is a plain word
\nThat to those who understand reacts
\nIts like fake news, or double speak
\nOr plain old alternative facts.<\/p>\n

If the facts dont fit, make them up
\nYour the President, its what you do…
\nIf the words dont fit what you want to say
\nSure, you just make them up too!<\/p>\n

Its not a language or a dialect word
\nBut unique to one man
\nIdiolect is the term linguists use…
\nAnalyze that if you can…<\/p>\n

Idiolect – the unique language used by an individual
\nOf its on uniquities and its own rule:
\nThe cynics say idiolect is speech of a idiot…
\nA buffoon and a fool!!!<\/p>\n

But Trump just keep the plates of the economy spinning,
\nFor that is all that matters
\nThe covfefe and kerfuffles
\nKeeps the twitterati in covfefic chatters!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
