(CNN) Merriam-Webster dictionary says it's seen a 60,000% spike in searches for the definition of 'slimeball' after President Trump used the word in a tweet to disparage former FBI Director James Comey.

Shortly after 8 a.m. Friday, the President tweeted: "James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst "botch jobs" of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey!"

Less than three hours later, Merriam-Webster reported the spike along with an official definition of the word: "We define 'slimeball' as "a morally repulsive or odious person."

The dictionary went on to have some fun with the word, adding, "it is of paramount importance that you do not confuse this word with scuzzball, which we define as 'an unpleasant, dirty, or dangerous person.'"
