It was just pointed out to Tony and I that our little blog’s title spells out “twat.” We thought we’d take a moment to reflect on this rich legacy.

As a noun, “twat” means:

1: a man who is a stupid incompetent fool
2: obscene terms for female genitals

I’m sure the connection between these definitions and our blog is plainly obvious. However, the relationship between Tony and these other TWAT acronyms may seem a bit of a stretch, but upon investigation we’re sure you will eventually understand how we are all part of one big happy family:

The War Against Terrorism
The Warm As Toast (cafe in Cardiff, Wales, UK)
The Western Area Tourers Motorcycle Club
The Word Association Thread (game)
Traveling-Wave Amplifier Tube

Many thanks to Bill for pointing out this serendipitous relationship of letters!
