Donald Trump Jr. has found himself in a media firestorm after recently sharing some self-incriminating emails from his personal twitter account, in a completely, uh, normal strategic maneuver.

But it looks like the trouble was just getting started for Donny Jr. because renowned British actor Hugh Grant is now using him to help Americans define a popular British insult.

Roasted.

(I assume, I mean. I'm American so I have to assume that "Wanker" is absolutely detrimental over there. I mean it must be, right? It sounds silly to me but I guess it's a pretty huge burn in the U.K. I mean look at all those retweets it got. It has to be a sick roast.)

That picture is Donald Trump Jr. holding an elephant's tail that he sawed off after shooting it with a powerful gun from very far away, just in case you thought this man needed defending.

Thanks for defining that for us, Hugh!
