Do we need to stop calling them tweets then?
The new word will be 'twats', after it's owner
Years ago I used the word "twat" around my girlfriend and she said "you're pronouncing that wrong". WTF? I thought she was going to tell me to pronounce it like the English do ("twatt" instead of "twott") but she said it was actually pronounced "twah" - without the t on the end. Turns out she thought people were trying to use the French word toit. No idea why she thought people were going around calling each other roofs.
Lol
Call it a twix?
Xeet - one better than yeet.
