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.。
