‘One-Word Tweet’ … One word to describe them all, that was the newest buzz on Twitter on Friday.

‘Democracy’, ‘Cricket’, ‘Films’, and ‘Universe’ – were some of the words used by celebrities to corporations used for describing themselves and their roles on the microblogging site.

From American President Joe Biden to Bollywood stars, cricketers, and politicians all jumped onto the bandwagon.
