Conservative host Ann Coulter tweeted out a simple number Thursday that had neo-Nazis praising her online.

Coulter’s “14!” tweet is a popular white supremacist code, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

David Lane, a member of the white supremacist terror group The Order, first coined the term.

The meaning behind the slogan reads: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

Some white supremacists refer to the slogan as “14 words,” “Fourteen Words,” or just the number “14.”

The "14 Words" slogan was inspired by a passage from chapter 8 in the first volume of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf."

Coulter fans immediately responded to her tweet with an "88," which means “HH” and is code for “Heil Hitler,” according to the ADL.

Some Twitter users suggested Coulter's tweet could mean the number of days President Obama has left in office.

Coulter later tweeted that she’s been “periodically” counting down the days left in Obama’s presidency. The last time she tweeted a countdown was on Dec. 7.

But according to a GOP tweet, the actual days left are 15.

Coulter has written several controversial books, including 2016’s “In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!” in which she praised President-elect Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies, as well as, 2015’s Adios, America: The Left’s Plan to Turn Country into a Third World Hell Hole.

Coulter did not immediately respond to a Daily News request for comment.
