In the East Midlands where I come from, Twat is no stronger than idiot or fool or berk. In the North West where I now live, it's up there with cunt. It's caused me issues on more than one occasion when I've basically sworn at someone without intending to.

Enlightening to see the responses tbh. Thanks for clearing it up for a 'forrener'

Twat does mean cunt where I live in the UK. Both can be either very, very offensive or used as a term of endearment. š
Where Iām originally from, both twat and cunt would always be extremely offensive.
