however, for our british listeners, twat doesn't rhyme with what

Do people pronounce twat "twot" in Hull?? I've never heard anyone British pronounce it that way no matter where they're from.

(sorry for linguistics)
does anyone pronounce it... like the word 'at' with a 'tw' in front? because i'm loving that word.

― mh, Friday, 1 February 2013 19:31 (thirteen years ago)
i always thought british people pronounced it 'twaht' (rhymes w/ ought)
― suze (Matt P), Friday, 1 February 2013 19:32 (thirteen years ago)
wow i am confused
it depends on how you/they pronounce "at" I guess
― mh, Friday, 1 February 2013 19:32 (thirteen years ago)
twat rhymes with hat. twot rhymes with hot.

it's not that "what" and "twat" rhyme, the vowel is slightly different, it's that the "d" in "and" when pronounced right before the "w" in what, sounds softer, and more like a "t"

Tomorrow, In a Year would have gotten more play at Chez Sanpaku with less operatic soprano and more Karin. An album of variations on the sounds from "Colouring of Pigeons" is just fine by me.
