Gives birth to a new word over accusation of stealing tweets
All thanks to Miss Universe contestant, we now have a new word to add to our vocabulary-twagerism.
The act of stealing someone else's tweets to make you look more intelligent, yes that's what 'twagerism' is.
According to news.com.au, the new word was coined from claims that a Miss Universe contestant "borrowed" tweets originally published by a newspaper columnist.
Miss Universe India, Vasuki Sunkavalli, in her Twitter profile and updates seemed to have a good grasp on politics and current affairs. We now know the source of her knowlegde.
In one of her tweet, she wrote about the Indian proposal for an anti-corruption ombudsman. "Only in India can you lead a movement to add an extra layer of unweildy [sic] regulation to fix a problem caused by too much unweildy [sic] regulation.
The columnist coludn't help but spot the strong resemblance. He then found 7 of her 29 tweets were his own.
Dhume took to the twitterverse and accused the beauty pageant contestant of "twagerism".
To her defence Ms Sunkavalli said she was unaware of the etiquette of "retweeting".
It wasnt [sic] accidental. cant possibly cut copy AND paste accidentally now can I just dint [sic] know the technical know how of retweeting, she wrote.
Dhume knew it was a battle he should let go and tweeted it as a "tempest in a teapot", admitting Ms Sunkavalli looked better than he did in a swimsuit.
She has a very long face.
I would hit and leave some for Laz

Plate it w/ jasmine rice, Cabbage Tomato Chutney
and Coconut Cream Chutney w/ mango chunks.
She is so not guilty....all the same, I’d like to have her confined in house arrest...at my house....
Nice alliteration.
Concur.
If you are in the mode for Indian I’d go with Reshma Shetty from the basic cable show “Royal Pains” or maybe Lisa Ray. Only time I recall agreeing with Roger Ebert’s former apprentice Richard Roper is when he said she was hot.
Face? What face?
2 words: Aishwarya Rai
Ballgame over.
Russian women, Indian women, Asian women..sure they are hot. But most only want a American so they can get green card.
And besides,when they break, its hard to find parts for them.
American Women rule.....
And I must admit, before I met my wife and got married in college, I never dated a single Caucasian American Woman, way to high maintenance.
I dated a a couple of Nice Asian girls, and even a few African ones (actually from Africa) While it didn't work out (Hey we were Young) They were still Smart, Intelligent, Fit, Cleaver, and all around enjoyed being women. Much more than I can say for alot of American Women.
there’s only one winner of Miss Universe this year... MISS INDONESIA. ( yes she’s my ex students and the whole school will be watching)
CMMON Nadine!
bless their little . . . . hearts
That woulda prolly skeert me off too !
Gotta watch that, they will Cleaver you in two!
