>The word twat is widely used as a derogatory epithet, especially in
>British English, referring to a person considered obnoxious or stupid
Given hs "pussy groping" habits, he could be a twat, since it is its
handling which characterises him.
But his twitter fixation may identify him as a true twit.
What say you the jury? twit or twat? do we have an offer of twerp at
the back?

In article <77psocpsata95i5vn...@4ax.com>,
Our ex-prime minister, David Cameron, got it almost spot-on in 2009
when he said in a radio broadcast:
Too many tweets might make a twat.
(The word "might" is superfluous and should not be there.)
Of course spineless media gurus immediately withdrew the remark. In
today's Orwellian political Newspeak he would have "misspoke".
But this is the shed. Why not make up a new word? Don't see why
the "yoof", with their grimy patois that passes for English, should
have all the fun.
So I proudly present the new word: Twittertwat. It's both a noun
and a verb. The simple alliteration should make it a compelling
word to use. An accurate OED definition of "twittertwat" is left
as an exercise for the reader. But for obvious practitioners of
twittertwatting look no further than the Donald and Katie Hopkins.
Sigh, to bastardise the word even further, you could even use it as
a Twitter hashtag: #TwitterTwat.
...shudder. Just re-read what I've written. And feel most unclean.
Ad hour or so in the bath with a stiff scrubbing brush and a couple
of bars of Wright's coal tar soap should see me back to (almost)
normal...

Cop-bad cop stuff used in Dragnet and other old US Police series.

To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer and the BOFH.
