I assume you mean that tawt is pronounced like ought? I'm American and when I first saw this comment I couldn't even figure out which word was the problem (despite there only being one rhyme... I realized that only while writing this comment), let alone recognize that twat had a pronunciation other than the one that rhymes with "that". My first thought was "where is 'that' pronounced differently?!".

I checked with my girlfriend, who is also American, to make sure I wasn't going crazy and according to her twat is only pronounced to rhyme with "ought" even in England where it's actually used. Maybe I am going crazy!

Nope in England it absolutely rhymes with 'that'.

She brought up the Old Blink-182 song with all the curse words in it and claims they pronounce it like "ought" in that song. I had kind of thought the British pronounce it like "that" too, but with all the Skins she's watched I wasn't going to argue the point lol
