@colinflynn28@melissapulo Robert Browning famously misused the term in his 1841 poem 'Pippa Passes', believing it to be an item of nun's clothing
Then owls and bats
Cowls and twats
Monks and nuns in a cloister's moods
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry
Its meaning was in reality the same then as now, Browning's misconception probably having arisen from a line in a 1660 satirical poem, Vanity of Vanities:
They talk't of his having a Cardinalls Hat
They'd send him as soon an Old Nuns Twat
@philipnareike Ha, interesting. We were talking band names last night. They are harder to come up with than I first thought. So many potential names have already been taken it seems, this isn't one I would have chosen though... :)
@Astromonkey How was the concert?.......and I have to ask...have you ever seen an Old Nuns Twat? I think it's that thing that used to hang down the front..
@philipnareike I just replied on my page about the gig. Apparently twat is derived from an old Norse work meaning cut or slit. Nowt to do with anything Nun's wear. I was almost too frightened to type "Nuns twat" in to Google for fear of what images might come up!
@philipnareike@MadameZia Ha ha, yes - it's funny, I went to a Catholic school and there were some Nuns but none looked like that. Their twats, which they only got out on special occasions, were distinctly musty.
@philipnareike Parent's evening, church services etc. I'm fascinated by them too, but not in the same way as you, you naughty boy. Ken Russell's The Devils is another good one if you like your nuns naked and getting twatted.

philipnareike
@Astromonkey I've seen that. There was a convent school Just up the road from me. I think my fascination began then, in childhood....
Astromonkey
