Wonderful pun ending! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:08:00

love the sentence - Jabberwocky, 2008-02-21: 13:32:00

A beautiful pun. I'm surprised more people haven't voted here, but with the downfall of civilization and all, I suppose it's possible. - Maxine, 2008-02-21: 19:55:00

You're so right Maxine! Until I thought about it half the day ... I missed the 'ought' in twat ... even though I read the pronounciation several times! Great blending and pun on H2ought, galwegian ... not only your sentence, but your verbot had a great ending and devserved more of a vote! Brilliant! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:00:00

Perhaps if the etymology had read haitch too ought ... More of us would have caught on ... or caught on sooner! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:13:00
