Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is known for his exceedingly superb language skills and penchant for using little-known words on Twitter.
On Tuesday he introduced yet another word that we bet not many people are aware about. Taking a dig at those who troll him on the micro-blogging site, Tharoor tweeted the ‘word of the day’: Lalochezia!
To save people from trouble of Googling the word, Tharoor helpfully also tweeted the meaning of the word.
‘Every day, I encounter on @Twitter people suffering from lalochezia! All too often they direct their suffering at me & others who support my beliefs.... (sic),’ he said on Twitter.
‘It means the emotional relief gained from using abusive or profane language,’ he tweet explained.
Twitter instantly was in awe of ‘Tharoorism’ and many told him how his tweets have helped in improving their vocabulary.
Here are some of the wittiest reactions to Tharoor’s word of the day:
In field of politics, Tharoor had last written a emotion letter to Education Minister Prakash Javadekar for the CBSE students affected by paper leaks.
In a letter to Javadekar, Tharoor had said the class 12 students are already in the process of preparing for competitive examinations and are under considerable stress and anxiety, and should be exempted from taking the exam again.
The HRD Ministry had last week announced that a re-examination of the CBSE Class 12 economics paper would be held on April 25 following the leak of the paper.
It had said the Class 10 mathematics re-test, if required, would be conducted only for the Delhi-NCR region and Haryana in July. However, on Tuesday it decided against conducting the the re-test for the mathematics paper.
"I would request you to kindly consider a similar exemption of Class 12 students from the re-examination of the Economics paper on compassionate grounds," Tharoor said in his letter.
Tharoor, who is a former Minister of State for Human Resource Development, urged Javadekar to hold a time-bound thorough inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the papers leak so as to ensure that appropriate punitive measures are taken at the earliest against those who are identified as being responsible for it.
"Most significantly, it will also allow us to take urgent constructive corrective steps that will be crucial in ensuring that the credibility of these examinations is reinstated," he said.
