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

Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Friday, 1 February 2013 19:22 (eleven years ago) link

mh, Friday, 1 February 2013 19:31 (eleven years ago) link

i always thought british people pronounced it 'twaht' (rhymes w/ ought)

suze (Matt P), Friday, 1 February 2013 19:32 (eleven years ago) link

wow i am confused

suze (Matt P), Friday, 1 February 2013 19:32 (eleven years ago) link

it depends on how you/they pronounce "at" I guess

mh, Friday, 1 February 2013 19:32 (eleven years ago) link

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"

two weeks pass...

there's a bit of nostalgia to all this excitement but liking poor imitations of a 6-7 yr old just out of nostalgia seems sad

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.

that was a mezzo, not a soprano
