North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un went off on Donald Trump, and everyone is impressed with the totalitarian ruler's insult and dictionary skills. 。

Kim's statement included many notable phrases -- none of them very flattering to the American president who threatened the dictatorship at the United Nations General Assembly earlier this week.

SEE ALSO:Kim Jong-un just called Trump mentally deranged and everything is fine。

One word in particular caught the Twitterverse's attention: dotard. As in, "I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire." (That's the actual translated quote.)。

It sounds pretty vicious, but after everyone looked up what it meant, they were impressed, if not a bit scared. 。

Kim basically called Trump old and senile, but with a spot-on word that barely anyone uses. The dated word choice might come from how Kim's statement was translated. The Korean version connotes more of a "old beast lunatic" vibe. 。

Whatever it meant, the word struck a chord as "dotard" searches went through the roof. And the jokes and online commentary kept coming.。
