Covfefe come, covfefe go.

Hillary Clinton was the latest person on Twitter to use the word "covfefe," created by Trump's slippery fingers. It was mere hours after joking it was a Russian code word at the Code Conference.

We all laughed when "covfefe" happened, but nearly 24 hours on, Clinton's tweet on Wednesday night seems about as over as rickrolling your friend.

Is "covfefe" and its 15 minutes of fame over and done with yet? Well, Chrissy Teigen thought it was over awhile ago.

But for some people, Clinton's tweet was when it jumped the shark.

But hey, maybe everyone gets one go until the word dies forever, or your uncle brings it up at a barbecue next week.
