Shashi Tharoor Starts English Classes For 2018 With ‘Troglodyte’, Responding To BJP MP’s Comment On ‘Taj Mahal’
More than his work, the Kerala MP is popular on social media for his amazing speech videos and the use of fancy English words. Shashi Tharoor’s wordy tweets have, time and again, baffled, impressed and intrigued people on social media and generated some hilarious responses.
Right from the “Exasperating farrago of distortions”, he has always been the epitome of trolls and memes on social media. It might be his English or the logical things he perpetuates on the rivals, Shashi Tharoor is always a winner in this space of wisdom and fun. Also, Tharoor has the power of transforming a normal discussion into an erudite one.
Congressman Shashi Tharoor is nothing less than the only hope and certainly the center of attraction the UPA has got. Just like the oasis in the desert, Tharoor is the only person that can elevate Congress party he literally has got the power to renew the once lived monotony of the party.
In India, there are many political leaders who are amazing orators but Shashi Tharoor is different from the vocabulary that he uses is just amazing and to understand what he said, people use dictionaries. Apart from making memes about his vocabulary, people have also started imitating his style, mostly without any success.
His first tweet of 2018 wasn’t liked by the people and his fans because there were no words that they expected from him, but it went viral due to spelling mistake which is rare from Tharoor. After a while, Shashi Tharoor now has come with another word resuming the English classes for 2018.
While referring to the BJP MP’s comment, the Thiruvananthapuram MP used the word “troglodytes” in his tweet, responding to a journalist. “We can’t let these troglodytes destroy our country & everything beautiful in it.” he tweeted.
We can’t let these troglodytes destroy our country & everything beautiful in it. https://t.co/30TB4lXrrb

If you guys are in a hurry to figure what the word means, just sit back and relax. It means cavemen or people who are deliberately ignorant or choose to be old-fashioned. A quick look on the Internet shows the word also means a hermit. Now, we will leave it to you think what Tharoor meant.
Nevertheless, it was clearly not a usual day on the Internet, with many thanking Tharoor, albeit for different reasons like reminding them of the GRE days, for tweeting out Oxford updates and others simply for teaching them a new word.
Twitter Reactions:

You simply cannot insult troglodytes because even they did not contemplate to destroy things or harbour such thoughts.
You ought to come with a better term to paint MP Vinay.

Earlier, Tharoor taught us a few words like Farrago, Webaqoof, Snollygoster, Puerile, and Rodomontade, etc. Shashi Tharoor seriously needs to consider giving English classes to all of us, so that we are not baffled everytime he types out a tweet.
