Tharoor Reacts to Amul Cartoon, Calls Himself ‘Tharoorosaurus Rex’
Tharoor went on to express how “butterly honoured” he was, with another one of his intelligent tweets.
Inspired by Kerala MP Shashi Tharoor's tendency to casually throw in impressive, big words in his tweets, that leave the entire country hunting for a dictionary to figure out what he actually meant, Amul made a punny cartoon. Following this, Tharoor went on to express how “butterly honoured” he was – with another one of his intelligent tweets.
The Amul girl, in the cartoon, can be seen looking frenzied, scrounging for the meaning of Tharoor's words, in a big, blue dictionary, while he sits on her side, amused and grinning. The cartoon was accompanied with a tagline that read: "Tharooraurus anyone?"
Tharoor, in reaction to Amul's cartoon, came up with a hilarious tweet, in which he pointed out that he was "butterly honoured", and that he felt like a "Tharooaurus Rex."
Tharoor also explained what he meant by this term, which clearly comes from Dinosaur family's Tyrannosaurus Rex, saying that a ‘Tharoorosaurus Rex’ is an ancient creature, which will soon be extinct after being snuffed out in a cloud of incomprehension.
Humans of Twitter, obviously, had a field day.
