Shashi Tharoor is known to be one of the best speakers in India and has a great hold on the English language. He never fails in leaving an impact and proving his point.
Who can forget his use of words like “farrago” and “masquerading” in an angry tweet a few months back? The tweet and the use of big English words by Shashi left everyone amused and they trolled him for it in a very funny way.
Exasperating farrago of distortions, misrepresentations&outright lies being broadcast by an unprincipled showman masquerading as a journalst

Now he is back, but this time he has surprised everyone with the “typo” in his tweet instead of the use of hifi words. Shashi Tharoor tweeted about the ongoing Padmavati matter and said-
Agree totally. The #Padmavati controversy is an opportunity to focus on the conditions of Rajasthani women today ¬ just of queens six centuries ago. Rajasthan’s female literacy among lowest. Education more important thang Hoog hats https://t.co/82rvGmkfwO

Tharoor was quick to notice his typo and and instantly clarified-
Just realised that dreaded autocorrect has changed “than goonghats” to “ thang hoong hats”. Apologies. When I hit “tweet” I was still seeing the correct words I’d typed https://t.co/aQzEGfBuJq

But nothing can be undone on Twitter and soon people started trolling him for it. Take a look at some reactions-

Hoong : Boy's name meaning, origin, and popularity
Thang: non-standard spelling of thing representing Southern US pronunciation, typically used to denote a feeling or tendency.
