A hard A, eh?

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 5 points 1 month ago

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.

I usually hear twot / twaht.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 4 points 1 month ago

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

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

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