Shashi Tharoor’s tweets are as famous as the man himself, if not more so.
And with this tweet, he has added yet another uncommon word to our dictionaries – ‘lalochezia’.
Every day, I encounter on @Twitter people suffering from lalochezia! All too often they direct their suffering at me & others who support my beliefs…. pic.twitter.com/7h0htfD7Qk

Only this time, instead of leaving his followers rushing to hunt the meaning, he provided the meaning of the word himself.
Clearly, the tweet is directed at his trolls, and supportive twitterati had their fair share of words, though none as complex, to respond with:
You should start #ThaoorTeachEnglish as a web series.

You should start “word of the day” on twitter, it will be more popular than “Good morning ” on whatsapp

Mine is an innocuous vocabulary of just hundred words…Every word from Tharoor is a Goldmine 😊

Mr. Tharoor, you sure are the champion of obscure words!
