I remember hearing/reading at some point that the etymology for twat came from the English civil war. Effectively an insult for someone who could be seen as not to be trusted; at the time of roundheads vs cavaliers, they'd be said to be wearing two-hats, which would therefore be shortened to twat.
Can't find any source for this online to back me up, but I still like the idea.

Re: Twat
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
