Antiwomen, we real men acknowledge where we're wrong and apologise, then move on. Emotionally retarded twats put the boot in and try and get mileage from others' mistakes - which reminds me of a certain sport that you don't want to talk about any more.

I didn't even need a degree to learn that.

apologies Seeker,

accidently slipped in.

go the emerging paradigm!

C J Morgan, "twats put the boot in"

Wikipedia: 'The word twat has various functions, its primary meaning being a vulgar synonym for the human vulva, vagina, or clitoris.'

That is its usual meaning in Australia too, so why not leave it out of your rants because all it does is demonstrate how superficial your self-avowed support of feminism really is. It is when under stress that the real attitudes come out and you can't get much more negative about women than to use slang for their reproductive parts as terms of abuse.

Do you use the 'C' word too to abuse your opponents?

My Macquarie Dictionary (you know, the Australian one) gives two meanings for "twat". The first is as Cornflower says, the second - which is my usage - is "a despicable or unpleasant person", and is entirely apposite when applied to Antiwomen. I think the Macquarie is somewhat more authoritative than Wikipedia, don't you?

<< Do you use the 'C' word too to abuse your opponents? >>

Do you mean "Cornflower"? While it probably is interchangeable with "twat", I wouldn't necessarily call it a term of abuse.

Interesting that Cornflower has never chided Antiwomen for his numerous posts where he abuses others, particularly women who have the temerity to stand up to him. Why would that be, I wonder?

C J Morgan

So you admit that the first meaning of 'twat' and certainly its common usage in Australia is as a vulgar synonym for the human vulva, vagina, or clitoris, however you nonetheless intend to keep using it and you don't apologise at all?

That says volumes about your insensitivity to women and hypocrisy in moralising about the behaviour of others.

It is the use of a term that especially offends, which is why I asked if you were in the habit of using the 'C' word the same way.

Cornflower, I've made my usage of the word clear, and there is no apology due - even if you feign offence on behalf of the odious Antiwomen. Besides which, I'm very fond of female genitalia, so why would I refer to a rabidly misogynist loser like Antiwomen in that sense? It would be insulting to a vagina.

Actually, I've never heard anybody refer to a vagina, vulva or clitoris as a twat, although I've heard it used in the way I do often - even on TV. Maybe it's to do with the company we each keep.
