After 'farrago' episode, Congress MP and former union minister Shashi Tharoor once again set Twitter buzzing with his tweet on 'Padmavati' containing a typographical error.
Tharoor expressed his concern on Rajasthan's women on Twitter by quoting one tweet asking state government to resolve the conditions of women. This tweet triggered curiosity among Twitterati, not because of the content of tweet but a typo in the tweet - 'thang Hoog hats'.
The tweet can be seen here:
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

Soon people started to ask what the meaning of the word or idiom. Some even started fun out of it.
What is Thang Hoog Hats?

Thang Hoog Hats? Sounds Vietnamese. :P Love the laughs your autocorrect gives us sometimes. ðŸ˜

Shashi Tharoor himself clarified the issue and said he intended to write '...than goonghast' but the autocorrect changed to the 'thang hoog hats'. He apologised for the error.
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

Earlier this year Shashi Tharoor's aggressive tweet against Arnab Gowswamy hit headlines for its wordings especially a word 'farrago'.
