random thought of the day:

QUESTION: How do you personally say the word twat? Do you pronounce the a like ah, making the word sound like twaht or with a short a, making it sound exactly like it's spelled?

I am crossposting this question everywhere, because I heard it mentioned on an episode of a podcast that I was listening to today and it started driving me crazy. I've always said it with a short a, because that's what I remember Father Patrick (one of the friars at my school) saying it as when he told us that a twat was a pregnant goldfish. Confirm/deny that statement, anyone?
