Travis Kelce is never going to live down that squirrel tweet, is he? Actually, it\u2019s the \u201csquirle\u201d tweet.<\/p>\n
While at the University of Cincinnati, Kelce chronicled an encounter with a squirrel on X (which was known as Twitter) in 2011, and his spelling was not great.<\/p>\n
That tweet resurfaced more than a decade later, and it even was featured in a Los Angeles Chargers schedule release. But since Kelce began dating superstar singer Taylor Swift, his vocabulary apparently has improved dramatically.<\/p>\n
During Kelce\u2019s chat Wednesday with Swift on the New Heights podcast, he correctly gave the definition of esoteric. That led to a funny couple of social-media messages from the Merriam-Webster dictionary.<\/p>\n
Kelce, who is 6-5 and 250 pounds, is known for his physical presence on a football field, but this time he was praised for his brain.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just so proud of your lexical growth,\u201d Merriam-Webster wrote on X after sharing the clip of Kelce telling his brother, Jason, what esoteric means.<\/p>\n
It was a funny message for the Chiefs star and yeah, it included that squirle tweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Kelce is never going to live down that squirrel tweet, is he?
