Historia y curiosidades

In 1841, poet Robert Browning used 'twat' in his poem 'Pippa Passes,' writing 'Cowls and twats.' He thought it meant part of a nun's habit, having misread 17th-century text 'They talk't of his having a Cardinall's Hat / They'd send him as soon an Old Nun's Twat.' The error remained in print for decades.
