Well maybe I've lived a sheltered life?
But round these parts the word twat more usually means the first bit in the following. I'd say usage of the word is lowish though.
The word twat is widely used as a derogatory epithet, especially in British English, referring to a person considered obnoxious or stupid. It is also used informally as a verb in British English to mean "to hit or punch a person". In British English and Commonwealth English, it is pronounced /twæt/ to rhyme with that, or sometimes /twɒt/, to rhyme with hot. ... Twat is also used in British English as vulgar slang for the vulva or female genitals in general.
Tabs comes from tobacco IIRCTabs and ket are ones I never understood when I was at uni in the N.E. What's the etymology for those two?
I once called the mrs bonny and she turned around and slapped me, apparently bonny means chubby or fat in the Midlands.
Must be North Midlands that or East. West Midlands bonny means nice looking, beautiful. At least I've never heard it used to describe a porker. Where is your Mrs from?
Nuneaton.
I didn't grow up in the south east, but that is how I understand it too.I grew up in the south east and the anatomical meaning of twat was vagina, and as an insult it would rank a lot higher than twit!

I'd agree with all of this, twat can mean one of three things depending on the context.

My dad rip asked a bloke where he could pick up some fags while in Florida . Got a dodgy look
Heard that American comedian Tom Stade talking about being at a market stall in Britain where the trader shouts “I’ve got a bag of faggots!”
How the fuck would I know if I'm pronouncing it wrong or not, it's not like I've ever heard it said out loud, hello? I am just saying that to me that's what it reminds me off. Of the French word for shit. Or like a smear of shit on a toilet paper. A mar of shit. I'm not trying to be offensive or rude, so I apologize if that's how it's coming out. It's just not one of my favorite words on here. Chebs is another that sounds absolutely crude as fuck to me. And you fuckers can't make up your mind on whether it means boobs or dick anyway.How the fuck do they sound even remotely similar? Think you might be pronouncing one wrong.
So "teckle" means "braw" does it? That clears things up. Actually I know "braw" means good, but only because I used to read the Broons/Oor Willie.“Teckle” is my favourite Dundonian word. It means something is braw!

Have you ever heard it spoken or just seen it written down?That word bugs me to no end... sounds too much like the French "merde" to me. To me it sounds like what you would call the shit that is smeared on the toilet paper when you wipe.
Sorry, no offense intended.
It still does here in the US
