"Twat-scowerer"

Bloody great definitions, Perdita! Made me laugh!!!

I didn't realised it was US slang for buttocks. I knew fanny was, though. Talk about get things arse about twat.

Loulou, I didn't know about the US slang either, never heard twat used here in all my life. Twat-scowerer caught my eye too. Imagine calling a medical center and asking for such. P.

The Twat is going to be so pleased and proud. This thread is now five pages long. I'm so happy. LOL

He doesn't finish his shift until midnight, but he might be on when he gets back. I have a feeling he might.

No, I don't get it, and now I'm getting annoyed at myself that I don't get it.

RIGHT! Thats it, I'm going back to the bloody doctors because if these damn mood swings don't stop I'm probably going to kill someone.

Have you never called some annoying hejit a twat? Particularly a bloke that was an asshole/anorak/stupid/annoying/bullshitter type person?

This thread is just a light-hearted joke on all of that. We are Twats and proud of the fact. Plus it's a rude word for pussy, so that makes it even better.
