Shashi Tharoor Makes KTR Pull Up A Dictionary

Telangana IT minister KTR has been proactive on Twitter and with the help of his team, he is assisting people get medicines, oxygen concentrators and other stuff. The demand for medicines grew a lot in the second wave especially for Tocilzumab, Remdesivir etc.

Since these names are so complex even to pronounce, KTR wondered who termed them. Accordingly he made a tweet of a list of medicines that are hard to pronounce and cheekily asked whether Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has a hand in it.

Reacting to KTR’s tweet, Shashi Tharoor replied in his style. “Not guilty! How can you indulge in such floccinaucinihilipilification, @KTRTRS? Left to me I’d happily call them “CoroNil”, “CoroZero”, & even “GoCoroNaGo!” But these pharmacists are more procrustean,” tweeted Shashi Tharoor.

Well what the hell does floccinaucinihilipilification mean? KTR is bewildered with Shashi Tharoor’s reply and wrote, “Devudaaaa…..had to pull out a dictionary & Tharoorosaurus to comprehend. P.s: loved the Coronil dig.”

But now it’s time to search for the meaning of floccinaucinihilipilification!
