Kind of backfired on old BDu, didn't it?

The technique is common on certain other boards... ( AG and SC spring to mind)

For some reason I am totally dense when it comes to spotting trolls. I am such an easy target it's quite pathetic really :P

Maybe you're just more understanding Dana. When you take someone at face value you're not expecting them to turn into twits right before your very eyes.

how should I spell twit? I didn't mean twat. Did you know that a twat over here is a vagina?

LoL Ali, it was a joke...albeit a snide one at the expense of someone who is no longer around to defend herself. I was suggesting that she was in fact a twat not a twit. Twat means the same over here but is also used as an insult. As in 'you daft twat'. Bit like calling someone a prick.

It's pronounced twot over here, even though it's still spelled twat.

That's just a bit of trivia for your day though.

It's pronounced "twot" here too (rhymes with "dot.") Are you saying it's pronounced like it rhymes with "cat" in the UK, Dana?

Dana, Aliantha & Clodfobble have already answered, but I am intrigued now.

Is it pronounced (cat) twat or (dot) twat in your part of the world?
