Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

An excellent question indeed



In checking StatCounter (for the first time in months, I might add), I came across one particularly memorable entry under the "keyword analysis" entry (what people enter on search engines to find this blog):

Why is Hannah a twat?

Hmm, I thought. An worthy question indeed.

But the problem was whether this was an introspection-based question -- as in the root of my twatness -- or was it possibly rhetorical?

Certainly I'm not silly enough to assume that the person entering this into Yahoo or Google or whatever was specically targeting myself. I'm not so egotistical to ever expect that everyone is talking about me -- unless, of course, it's all bad shit.

In which case, I simply expect people are slagging me anyways. Too fat, too stupid, too lazy, too dreary, etc, etc...

So why am I a twat? Well, a twat is a a vulgar colloquialism for a woman's genitalia. Vaginal area = twat. I am a woman, ergo I am a twat. A + B = C.

And according to Dictionary.com, a twat is also someone who is a "stupid, icompetent fool." (A brief tangent -- have you ever noticed that all the nastiest insults are, for the most part, attributed to women or women's parts? Twat, pussy, cunt, bitch, tits-up, etc? Whereas if someone is gutsy, they have balls. And when was the last time you heard someone mutter, "What a cock," when they were jostled while in a queue?)

So. Right on all charges. I am, in fact, a twat.
Hence the title of the blog.

But I'm in good company, because the world is full of a good many twats.

Hmmm... I still call people cocks. And dicks. For me they both rank below calling someone a cunt, but way above pussy, and slightly above the rest. At least in my name-calling ranking system. Of course, the gender neutral asshole is just below cunt, if not right next to it, on that same scale. However, there are certainly more female derived names than male derived ones. It's not surprising really.
