“Would you have some covfefe?”
This, became the most overused joke,May onwards. But Donald Trump’s covfefe moment is going down in history. None can get the verbal faux pas out of their minds and it’s going to be crowned New Word of the Year title (JK! At least in our opinion, it should).
Now, that Mr. President got the limelight, how can we desis not have some faux pas of that level?
Refreshing netizens’ memories and giving desis a chance to have their time in the light with jokes, the Ministry of Finance’s Twitterfeed had two tweets for good two hours which were their “covfefe” moments. It was in reply to a news article. And are deleted now (of course!).
Hein? Wut do they mean?
In no time, netizens took it upon themselves to decode the cryptic message and tried putting two and two together. Then what? Jokes and deciphering game was simply on point.

Dear Finance Ministry, distributing gifts in Diwali is fine.
But gifting away twitter handle access to handler of @OfficeOfRG is a bad idea😀— Ketan Thakkar (@K10_tweets) October 20, 2017
