people tend to default to ~~twut~~ twot, really throwing the A at 'em is fucking hilarious.

... like the difference between scone and scone.

Yeah, you say twot to an English person and they'll look at you like you've sprouted a third head.

The correct way to pronounce it is twat:

The twat in a hat came at me with a bat.

As opposed to:

The THOT whose a bot sent me her twot.

if you're reading twot and twut differently maybe I should edit ...

Maybe they are the same in your accent and different in mine? Speech be funny that way.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

No no no, this is the internet, someone has to be wrong.

Ok, I'll be wrong, I think it's my turn.
