Mimicking Shashi Tharoor- Exasperating Farrago Video Shashi Tharoor is a popular figure in numerous debates for many years and often illustrates his points in humourous phrases. Not only does he make us laugh and has good knowledge in so many fields, his command over the English language is outstanding and his one liners and counters to others in “certain” English words is a motivating factor for English language learners of all ages and groups across the globe, whether the words are ‘Farrago’ or ‘Distortions’, or ‘Floccinaucinihilipilification’. In short whatever he speaks is just supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
