New Delhi: Shashi Tharoor has done it in the past and he does it again. After digging out some of the most difficult words from the dictionary, this time Tharoor has thrown a tongue-twister ‘Schadenfreude’ in his latest tweet and this has left netizens perplexed.

A day after probe agencies summoned Union Minister P Chidambaram in an alleged money laundering case involving INX Media, Tharoor came out in support of the veteran leader.
On Wednesday, he retweeted P Chidambaram’s tweet of September 24, 2018. Chidambaram had tweeted the link of his interview to a newspaper on the alleged irregularities in the Rafale fighter jet deal where he sought to punch holes in then finance minister Arun Jaitley’s defence of the deal and said, “To a person running scared, every shadow will be a demon”.

“Well said @PChidambaram_IN! It is a tribute to your strength of character that you are standing up to persecution and character assassination with courage and confidence. I believe justice will prevail in the end. Till then, we will have to allow some malicious minds their schadenfreude.”
The Mirriam-Webster dictionary defines schadenfreude, a word of German origin, as “enjoyment derived from the troubles of others”.
