Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is actively teaching words from his vocabulary to people on Twitter. He has given another word 'Criticaster' to his followers and this one is more apt for the social media space. A criticaster means someone who is an incompetent critic. Tharoor has used the word well as a better word for trolls. On a medium like Twitter, there are a lot of people who want to and go out outrightly criticising what doesn't suit their ideas. Such trolls give rise to more criticism to any idea or a point that is being made. Celebrities and politicians are always encountered with trolls.

Tharoor tweeted the word with the meaning and wrote, "We do have a lot of criticasters on @TwitterIndia, but we call them trolls!" Like always some of the ardent followers of the leader thanked him for teaching the new word while the others started its usage. Look at some of the reactions given by the people on Twitter.
