Pronunciation

So, over to the brain's trust:

Is it TWAT (rhyming with "what")

or TWAT rhyming with "flat"

What's the voting ?

Both!
No1 is a vagina or a stupid person (who doesn't know he's stupid).
No2 is never a vagina but is a really annoying, in-your-face person.

 

What?

Yeah but that's a yanklish dictionary and flat twat is definitely an english
word.

 

Back in the days when Trans World Airlines existed, the hosties would ask if
you wanted tea or coffee.
Apparently it was de rigeur to ask for some TWA tea.

Yeah that's what made me ask the question in fact. My boss is a
Mancunian and corrected me when I pronounced it TWOT (which is how
everyone I know says it). I was basically wondering whether it was a
Sydney thing, or had Oz diverged. It seems Oz has a different
pronunciation to the Poms.

twat rhyming with pussy

 

I'm a bloody Englishman and if it's any help, twot and twat were synonymous
when I was in school (79-84) , it was later I discovered that twot was used
exclusively as a euphemism for a front bottom and I haven't heard it for
years and years. I would feel quite embarrassed in fact if someone used it
non-ironically. Over here it might be different and I'll use it any way you
want me to until my visa comes through.

 

You have my permission to say it anyway you like <grin>

(are you the same porl off UKRM ?)

 

Possibly...what would happen if I was?

[fx: nervously looks around]

 

Pommy bastards using our dinkum Aussie front-bottoms.....
Aughtta' be a law agin' it!

 

'twot' in Australia, 'twat' for additional emphasis (as in 'complete
twat')

Does Theo know that he's delegated pronunciation and word usage
to you JL?

I've always thought that when pronounced so that it rhymes with "that",
Twat is a self-desriptive term.
