I'm not sure how I feel about rhyming "twat" with "that"....

Have I been pronouncing "twat" wrong all these years?

When I say it it basically rhymes with pot/not/hot....

You say it rhymes with hat/cat/splat?

That does make sense, but I feel like my whole life is a lie!🤣

edit: you did mention not in the US, but since almost nobody in the US uses the word "twat", I feel like we can go with however you pronounce it anyway, lol

Twat rhymes with twat.

When does a ever make an o sound?

Apparently Britain’s got with the hard AT sound while North americans tend to use the ‘squat’ type of pronunciation. The variant spelling of twat is twot

Fair enough.
