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.

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

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

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