bilby Now here's some TWAT. Jul 24, 2008
yarb That's because it's you, personally, who finds it so offensive. Jul 23, 2008
johnmperry Personally I find this word just as offensive as cunt. But for some reason it is almost freely allowed on BBC television. Jul 23, 2008
yarb Ha ha. As they say at English football grounds, Rooooobert Browning, what a wanker, what a wanker! Jan 22, 2008
seanahan An amusing historical note from Wikipedia Jan 22, 2008
bilby "'Good', he said. 'Even Mickey Mouse locks on garage doors can be a pain in the ass. Big springs. Hard to tip them over. The one's as tired as an old whore's twat at daybreak, though. Lucky for us.'"

arby For some reason I find this word so much less offensive than cunt, maybe because it just sounds so silly it's impossible to take seriously as an obscenity. Also because it reminds me of twit, which I like. Sort of like "tit for tat", you could say "twit for twat". Except it doesn't rhyme, damn. May 4, 2007
