Poll: How do you say twat?

[GoGrapefruit]

Being incredibly English, I pronounce it "Terr-watt"
Henceforth, i picked 'other'

Yes but that rhyms with hat...

Also yes you say it like hat

 

[mionic]

Rhymes with hat, because everything is more awesome if it somehow relates to hats in any way.

Could not have said it any better myself
OT: That twat took my hat!

This should help

Maybe I'm just stupidly British, but I've NEVER heard 'twot'. Ever.

When i lived in Ohio it was "twat"
I live in Texas now and it is "twot"
I always assumed it was a southern U.S. thing to say twot.

Actually, I pronounce it "tw-at" (Lives in Fl, with a southern accent).

I'll say it both ways. But mostly it rhymes with 'hat'. Other times, it rhymes with 'what' instead, and saying "twhat" to someone as if it were a question is a great tiny way to insult someone without them noticing.

 

[Jedamethis]

Rhymes with hot. That's how I say it.

See, if you were anyone else, I'd wonder if that was trolling... but then I read other posts and think 'huh?!'

OT: Last two letters are 'a' & 't'. How do I pronounce 'at'? Sure as hell not 'ot', so yeah, rhymes with 'hat'.

How do you pronounce knife? nife or knife?
neighbour is of course pronounced neghbor right?

Words with foreign language etemology don't always follow standard english rules.

Foreign language etymology? When the hell was twat not an English word? 0.o

Really, I don't know why you'd be able to get it mixed up. Swat is pronounced that way because it is onomatopoeic.

From the old Norse thveit - which means cut or slit or field. Developed into old english as thwaite, use as a forest clearing.

Well, fair enough.
But a forest clearing? I thought we were talking about either a vagina or a dickhead...

I go with the tried and tested hat version, though I did once have a friend (honest, I did!) who would pronounce it twot, despite better efforts to re-educate/smother him with the nearest object. He was a twat.

 

[plugav]

I suppose both are correct, but I've never heard it pronounced other that "twAt."

 

[Sargonza]

The only way I've ever heard it pronounced in England is to rhyme with "hat". The closest alternative to rhyming with "hot" I've heard is "twonk", but I think that's something else

 

[Oliver Sadler]

Its pronounced "TW@"

 

[sergnb]

"Too-at"

Why would you say "Too-ot" lol that's silly. You silly english speaking people with your different pronunciation words, how silly.

 

[Circusfreak]

like yahzee says it. *( for example in the SSBB review)

 

[Fledge]

Surely it would be on O if it was twot.
Just like it's an I if it's twit.

 

[PureChaos]

rhymes with hat, have never heard it be said the other way

 

[Yuzzi]

I don't. It's too Bri'ish for a Finn to say.

 

[Baradiel]

What? Saying Twat the way youd say what? As in, "ot"?

Thats hilarious! If someone called me a twot I'd laugh in their face.

 

[richard misiak]

the hat way.
bollocks is a funnier word anyway

 

[Sejs Cube]

I say it two different ways, depending on context.

Short-a sound, rhymes with hat: way to say hitting (to twat with sticks), or as a mild pejorative (don't be a twat).

Long-a sound, rhymes with hot: slang for ladybits (example obvious), or as a more harshly delivered invective (you are being a fucking twat).

Being from Yorkshire (the birth place of all good swear and curse words) it's Twaaaatt!
