For a long time, a young and good looking Christian female teacher at our boy’s Grammar school was under the unfortunate but rather amusing misapprehension that the definition of the word “twat” was “a female goldfish”, and would regularly call people “you little twat” when they’d messed something up. When some enterprising fifth year brought in an “adult” dictionary and pointed out the real definition her face stayed red for about a month.

This echoes a young belief in Nottingham, that a twat was either (i) a pregnant goldfish or (ii) a very silly twit.

“Twat!”
“Twat you say? I cunt hear you!”
“Must have an ear infucktion!”
“Better finger it out!”
Although it ends a bit rubbish, at least you get to shout this, because you’re having difficulty hearing each other.
