Ivanka responded that she didn’t know what “complicit” meant, saying, “I don’t know what it means to be complicit, but you know, I hope time will prove that I have done a good job, and much more importantly, that my father’s administration is the success that I know it will be.”

She added: “If being complicit is wanting to […] be a force for good and to make a positive impact, then I’m complicit.”

Merriam-Webster Dictionary wasted no time filling the first daughter in on what the word meant by posting the definition on their Twitter account.

“‘Complicit’ is trending after Ivanka Trump told CBS “I don’t know what it means to be complicit,” the dictionary tweeted.

The dictionary later tweeted that “complicit” was the number one word being looked up on its website after Ivanka’s interview.

This isn’t the first time that Merriam-Webster has trolled someone from the Trump administration. In January, they tweeted out the definition of “fact” after Kellyanne Conway made a comment about Sean Spicer having “alternative facts.”

The dictionary also made sure that Conway knew the definition of feminism after she said during an interview that she wasn’t a “feminist.”
