Today’s “Word of the Day” is “run-in“ and it is a noun meaning “fight, quarrel, tussle, clash, confrontation, disagreement, argument, dispute, difference of opinion”.
Example Sentence: As a former international diplomat, public intellectual and a best-selling author, Mr. (Shashi) Tharoor is also a non-conformist who had several run-ins with former KPCC presidents. This trait (characteristic/quality) in him perhaps provokes sneers (scornful smile) in traditional Congressmen but for the aspirational middle class, a constituency the Congress can ignore only at its peril. Mr. Tharoor is definitely perceived to be a class apart. But to get elected as the AICC president, only the votes of these Congressmen count.
