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 comment came during a contentious discussion of President Barack Obama's immigration record, where Trump asserted that Obama had deported "millions" of people.

"He doesn't want to say that, but that's what's happened... bigly," Trump said. 

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, bigly is actually a word meaning "with great force."

However, after the first presidential debate, Eric Trump, the nominee's son, told The Hollywood Reporter that the Republican nominee had said "big league," and not "bigly."

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

Here's how search traffic for the word spiked during the debate:
