Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks during the third U.S. presidential debate at the Thomas & Mack Center on October 19, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tonight is the final debate ahead of Election Day on November 8.

Republican nominee Donald Trump is known for some unusual speech patterns.

During the third and final presidential debate, Trump used one of his favorite words, “bigly.”

The word is now the top-trending search on Google:
