The way they say "twat" is really annoying. It's supposed to be "at" not "ot". :spergin:

Why did those two even attempt an accent? Everyone else just went with their native ones, when they realised they can't do it properly. Immersion ruined, etc.

How often do Americans say "twat"? I always figured it was like "bugger", you don't say it unless you're British and/or want to be laughed at.

Twat, oval office, gash, axe wound etc are all perfectly valid, if not, you know, incredibly crude.

Until this very moment I didn't know people thought "twat" was particularly British, let alone exclusively.

Twat's been making inroads into the mainstream lexicon though. It doesn't have widespread acceptance yet, but it isn't the domain of comedy nerds anymore.

Spread it around, make inroads into twat.

Pronounced /twɒt/ it's fairly common in America and isn't seen as an affectation of a Briticism, and it's been around for a while. According to the internet, /twɒt/ is also the pronunciation in New Zealand and Australia.

If you say it /twæt/ (rhymes with hat) you're either British or a dork.

Australian here, and I've only ever heard it pronounced /twæt/.
I remember an old joke (about a jockey) in a newspaper/magazine that relied on 'twat' rhyming with 'trot'. It caused much confusion among my friends and I until my mother explained the joke to us.

They all attempted British accents. Everyone in that trailer attempted a British accent.

I know these people aren't really being paid for their acting skills, but I just never understood how some people could be so terrible at it.

Yeah this is the first I've heard of twat being any kind of britishism. It was even part of the cheers we weren't allowed to use (but did anyways, because tradition, damnit) at the boarding school I went to.

Yeah, it had that rule once. Didn't go so well. Turns out people will derail a thread no matter what it takes, and people would just post tons of lovely pictures just to get into a a discussion.

Also Americans have this weird tradition where every person, when they are born, is assigned a specific word or series of words that refers to them as an individual. We call these words "names", and they are surprisingly useful. Before the invention of these "names", the only way to refer to someone you wanted to talk about would be "You know, that guy? No, not him...not him...not him either".

That's why we have names associated with our families, so we can tell the difference between the fat Penn brother Chris Penn and famous wrestlemurderer Chris Benoit.
