'Twat'is not a bad word in the UK
She says "Think British". Yes, the term comes from the UK, but everyone says it. It's said in class in England and its far from a really bad word. Is it a very bad word in the US?
shareit may be said by everyone in class etc but the meaning is still the same thing.
It is a vulgar synonym for the human vulva
twat comes from Old Norse þveit meaning cut, slit, or forest clearing.
Robert Browning famously misused the term in his 1841 poem "Pippa Passes", believing it to be an item of nun's clothing:[2]
Then owls and bats
Cowls and twats
Monks and nuns in a cloister's moods
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry
Its meaning was in reality the same then as now, Browning's misconception probably having arisen from a line in a 1660 satirical poem, Vanity of Vanities:
They talk't of his having a Cardinalls Hat
They'd send him as soon an Old Nuns Twat
