I don't get it. Is this a 3/6, simplified?

Nice to see Waffle returning. I actually named my fantasy baseball team Illest Waffle this year.

Is twat a homosexual reference around there, or did Illest break his streak?

Twat is an onomatopoetic reference to female anatomy.  Waff does seem off his game.

It's a pretty subtle way to break his streak.

I mean, as subtle as calling someone a twat can be.

Twat and fanny mean the same thing, ie more rounds in vernacular Commonwealth English's already immense arsenal of terms for female genitalia.

Illest totally could have kept his run going: "you're a twatting fag-hag". I'm actually quite perplexed.

i see. that's what twat means in america, but fanny means ass.

do non-american english speakers get weirded out about the fact that "fanny" was a not-uncommon girl's name 100 years ago? i would assume that the euphemism dates from the same general era.

Yup. It probably came about in the way Sheila is Aussie slang for a woman/girl, through association.

I mean, Dick is hardly an uncommon name for a guy.

well, it is if you're under 40.

i often wonder about that kind of thing, too. was there some societal agreement about names like that? like, i know dick meant penis 50 years ago, so why did people think it was ok to name their children dick then, but don't think so now?

The way people speak their language changes over time, and it's reflected very well in how they form pet names and the like, since there's no formal structure for these to conform to. A simple example: a few hundred years ago the normal way to shorten Robert was as Cob, an indication that people pronounced R's further back in their mouths than today, possibly a uvular R (say 'Rob' with a French R, and then say Cob, and you'll see what I mean). Richard has gone through a few verisons - Rick, Rich, Dick. If you look at vernacular names in the start of the 20th century, you'll see a lot of pet names that have fallen out of favour by now.

I'm the oldest that I've ever been,
and now I'm even older
Now I'm even older
Now I'm even older
I'm the oldest that I've ever been,
and now I'm even older
And now I'm older still.
