Trump's Baffling Word Choice: What Does 'Becocked' Really Mean?
US President Donald Trump's recent interview has sparked confusion among his critics and supporters alike. When asked about the Federal Reserve, Trump used a word that left many scrambling for their dictionaries: 'becocked.'
The term was used in relation to interest rates and how they are affected by economic announcements. Trump claimed that in the past, good numbers would lead to lower interest rates, but now it's all becocked. This statement has been met with skepticism, with some people believing he was using a real word, while others think he made an error.
Becocked does not appear on Dictionary.com or Merriam-Webster.com, and its definition varies across different sources. Wiktionary.com defines it as '******,' while UrbanDictionary.com spells it as 'becoked' and describes it as a verb meaning applied cocaine liberally to a surface.
Trump has been criticized for his word choice, with some accusing him of being mentally incompetent. However, the White House did not respond to requests for clarification on what Trump meant by becocked.
