Not to probe too deeply into matters of deep linguistic analysis (I could do something really raunchy with that, but I will refrain), I believe the word "twat," the way it is used by our British confreres, means essentially what we Yanks refer to as a "twit."

I remember seeing actor Sir Lawrence Olivier in a television interview in which, in a humorously self-deprecating moment, referring to himself as a "silly twat." I wondered at the time about how American viewers might interpret that.

End of footnote. Now, back to our regular broadcast.
