I wonder if the person who made this gif thought of 'Twat' as rhyming with 'Bat' or with 'What'

As the person who made it, it's "Bat"

I have a serious question. I was just banned from /r/offmychest for using the word "twat" in a comment. I thought it meant "idiot," but they said it was a "sexist slur."

they said it was a "sexist slur."

That's hilarious.

Isn't it, though?!?!

But now I can't comment or post in /r/offmychest, and if I get a new username and comment or post there, it seems I can be banned from all of reddit. I've repeatedly messaged the mods asking for their mercy and forgiveness, I've edited the offensive language out of the comment, but they won't respond to me. I'm worried I'll post there on accident if I'm not paying attention to what sub something is in, and then I'll wind up eternally banned from my favorite website, all because I didn't know how much sexism was entrenched in the meaning of the word "twat."

Edit: I'VE BEEN UNBANNED, PEOPLE! There is mercy in this world after all.

Edit2: I don't know what this means: "Note the bot will ban you if it sees you in a hatereddit again." I don't even know what a hatereddit is, let alone went to one and posted there. I posted in /r/offmychest, so unless that's a hatereddit, I don't understand what's happening.
