“Covfefe”: Internet’s best guesses on meaning behind Trump’s made-up word

President Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump.

The President of the United States of America made a horrendous spelling error on Twitter earlier this week.

Donald Trump’s post about “negative press covfefe” caused hilarity across the world, leaving many scratching their heads.

He is believed to have been trying to spell “coverage” but didn’t notice the typo until several hours later, by which time the internet had done its thing.

Trump later tweeted to call on the people of social media to guess what the word meant.

Meanwhile White House press secretary Sean Spicer claimed the president was not guilty of a spelling error, refusing to accept it had been a mistake.

The Urban Dictionary has already included it on its database.

Star Trek star George Takei speculated that Covfefe was a relative of cosmic HP Lovecraft creation, Cthulhu

Former presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton joked that Covfefe was a “hidden message to the Russians”.

One of our favourite reactions to the typo was this one, which really riled viking-like Covfefe the Strong and the Wizard Covfefe.

Both claimed they had been “summoned” by the US president, with the later claiming he was also brought forth by “the Great Orb of T’kketh”.

The Australian Federal Police speculated covfefe is a beverage “best consumed with donuts”.

One Twitter user claimed it is a hybrid Pokemon.

Some said there was only one man who could solve the mystery, fictional character Robert Langdon.

David Quentin joked the word “covfefe” appears in an allegedly pirated version of the play Hamlet, known as the “bad quarto”.

Comedian and TV host Jimmy Kimmel was just upset that he couldn’t top the hilarity of the typo.

While this man appeared to claim Covfefe was a composer.

Or is it a disease?

This guy used covfefe as an adjective to describe Amber Rudd’s performance in the BBC general election leader’s debate last night.

Is covfefe an aftershave perhaps?
