Jump to navigationJump to search- twittering of birds (Ulster pronunciation): “twattering”
- twat either an idiot/obnoxious person or female genitals. The bards are either rendered obnoxious, or they succumb to the twat?
- Celtic Twilight school (i.e, Yeats and company): “Twattering” combines twittering, twaddle, and (as insult) twat; “bards” (see note to .13) is birds; Yeats' poetry is conspicuously populated by birds. Birds twitter at dusk.
