The Watch Sleeping Beauty Onlinepeople behind the Merriam-Webster dictionary have long made known their distaste for the Donald Trump. Friday's Word of the Day is no exception.
On Thursday, the Washington Postreported that during an Oval Office meeting to discuss an immigration deal, Trump asked lawmakers, "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" Trump was speaking in reference to people from El Salvador, Haiti, and countries in Africa.

Which leads us to Friday morning, when Merriam-Webster made its opinion known by declaring "reprehensible" the word of the day. Its definition: "worthy of or deserving reprehension, blame, or censure."
