In the latest chapter of political theatrics, Shashi Tharoor, the articulate Congress MP, has once again showcased his mastery over the English language. Responding to JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar’s recent political realignment, Tharoor unleashed the term ‘snollygoster’ to describe the seasoned politician.
Known for his penchant for linguistic precision, Tharoor’s choice of words is far from arbitrary. The term ‘snollygoster,’ an archaic piece of American English, refers to a shrewd and unprincipled politician. This label reflects Tharoor’s critical perspective on Kumar’s political maneuvers.
