Lordy, does Twitter have fun with Comey’s exclamation.
Twitter users have latched on to former FBI director James Comey’s use of « lordy » during his Capitol Hill testimony about his interaction with President Donald Trump.
Comey told senators Thursday morning, « Lordy, I hope there are tapes, » in referring to his meetings with Trump.
The term quickly became a trending topic on Twitter.
Former New York City U. S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who was also fired by Trump, echoed Comey’s statement, writing, « We can all agree with Jim Comey that, Lordy, we hope there are tapes. »
« Captain America » actor Chris Evans quickly weighed in, saying he wanted Comey’s phrase on a T-shirt.
For those unaccustomed to hearing the word, dictionary maker Merriam-Webster tweeted a definition and joked that Comey still had time to use old-fashioned terms like « gadzooks » or « gramercy. »
