Twot
Meaning
The most widespread meaning of Twot is that it is synonymous to twat.
Twat is a vulgar term for a woman’s vagina, but is more often used as a derogatory insult towards a person, usually a woman.
The Twot version may be used as a less harsh way to call someone a twat, just as “feck” is a “nicer” version of “fuck”.
Some will say it is an acronym for “That Whore Over There”.
However, numerous other definitions exist in the form of acronyms, including:
- TWOT – Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament
- TWOT – The Wheel Of Time – popular fantasy books.
- TWOT – Total Waste Of Time
- TWOT – The War On Terrorism
Origin
Many Americans try to claim the slang, while others claim it is an old English term for vagina.
It seems that the term has regularly been “re-invented”, either with the same meaning, as it is very similar to “twat” and “thot”, or as a new term or acronym. Hence, the big discussion about its origin.
Spread and Usage
By teenagers and young adults, it is generally used as an insult, either towards someone behaving very sexually open – or dressing very light – or if someone is acting like an idiot.
However, the meaning is different depending on the location, so the term is widespread, but it doesn’t always mean the same.
