{} Rich,
{} I also heard, and used, twat many, many times over 30 years ago as I was
{} growing up in Lincolnshire. If my memory serves, I am getting on a bit, the
{} dictionary definition is a pregnant, goldfish? may be some other small fish
{} like a stickleback or guppie or something.
{} Of course your definition is the true meaning.
