More of a "twot" than a "twat"

It sounds like caught, which has no O in it. That sounds completely normal to me. I think you're being silly.

Thank you! I knew there was a reason, lol.Shaun__ said:AmberCutie said:Why does the word flange make me think of toilets?
Toilets do sit on flanges.

The word for that sound, which can occur in place of every one of the English vowels, especially when they occur unstressed in a word, is the schwa. Not only is this not just an American thing, it's not just in English thing. There are lots of other languages where schwas occur as well. Learn more about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SchwaLadyLuna said:Americans have a lot of ways to say the letter a.
There's wtf? like in America. (uh-meir-ic-uh) (and yes, ei is the best way I can describe the e sound there... I call it wtf cause most people would wonder why we're using the u sound for a. )

:lol: I've never heard anyone pronounce it to rhyme with cat. The origin is unknown but in the American Oxford Dict. it's listed as first spotted in the 17th century. America was a British colony at that time so no reason they'd start pronouncing it "wrong." lolgeralddonald said:AmberCutie said:I've never heard anyone pronounce it sounding like an O. Twat. Swat.

Definitely "twat", to rhyme with "cat". It's a British word. I assume an American saw it written at some point in the (fairly recent) past and pronounced it wrongly. I'd never heard the "twot" pronunciation until I joined MFC.
On a less confrontational note, :whistle: "fanny" is a British term for the female genitalia which, rather amusingly, has a completely different meaning in the US.

Yeah, "Fanny" was my paternal grandmother's name.
I've always said it as to rhyme with cat and everyone i know says it the same. If you say it with an O, people will laugh at you.Nordling said::lol: I've never heard anyone pronounce it to rhyme with cat.

Using cunt without a tip risks insta banning.
And all of the other terms may please certain models, but may cause confusion to non-native speakers?

Even spelling it out is still annoying. I don't walk into your place of work, throw down a few dollars on the counter and say, "Hey, babe, show me your junk." Tip or not, I expect the same level of courtesy in my chatroom.
