It’s 2018 and we are yet to get a word of the month from verbalised genius of the English language hailed by Twitterati, Mr. Shashi Tharoor.
In 2017, he gifted us with “farrago“, “webaqoof” and “rodomontade“, and not to forget cheeky clapbacks. In 2018? Umm, nothing yet.
But he did appreciate a vocabulary genius’ English language skills and shared it with his fellow Tweeple. Yeah, guys, Mr. Tharoor the language cognoscente does that when he stumbles upon something beautiful and awe-worthy.
Received on whats app. Quite a feat! pic.twitter.com/JfAQrwwt8V

And, as soon as he did that, netizens took upon the chance to cannonade a sequence of verbal rejoinders on Mr. Tharoor’s tweet-timeline. (Ah, the Tharoorian influence in words does show, right?)
1. Seems like it.
Wow! You met your match finally!

2. Oh, no, no, no! Never.
Wouldn't want to play Scrabble with the writer…

3. Someone pointed an error that missed Mr. Tharoor’s eye. :O
Twentieth “letter”? Ought it not read twentieth “word” instead?

4. Some doubted if that person is not Shashi.
Hard to believe it’s not you.

And the perils of being on the Internet late while catching up on trends can lead to this.

Well, well,well! We are bestowed with new and refined English words when we inspect the Twitter handle under the parliamentarian’s name.
