Yeah, they pronounce it "twot" for some dumb reason. They also drop the 'h' on "herb", which is pretty dumb

That's her fault, not everyone else's. If I change my name to dgsueuehddkkssnsjsnsjdjdjdjejwkwkwiwiudytftnnmsmalape, and then give it a foreign pronunciation, I can't blame people for getting it wrong (which she isn't)

Ok Leigh @Leigh where in the ranks of insults/profanity does TWAT sit? I heard it has a much harsher meaning over there.

Also what is a "slag"?

"Twat" is slang for vagina but isn't taken literally, in the same way "dickhead" and "asshole" aren't literal insults. Because it is similar to the word, "prat" it is generally given the same meaning, in that you are calling someone a dummy.

"Slag" = slut.

One that doesn't translate well is "wanker". It means someone who masturbates and is even accompanied with a masturbating gesture but again, it isn't taken literally.

I had a fight in Canada and the guy cheated. I won and gave him the wanker sign and people got mad. "He's jerkin' off!"

And as English slang goes, I can't think of a more perfect skit than this. Had me in tears.
