The worst part about cutscenes and why it’s so annoying when people talk to you during them is that you can’t pause them, and if you want to see it again, typically you have to reload your last save and fight through some horrible battle that you just barely scraped through the first time. So yes, time to smack whoever it is who’s yapping at you during the cutscene. ---

> [@garius](#): > > heh. over this side of the pond you’re more likely to hear it being used to mean “punch” than with respect to the more delicate bits of the female anatomy 😃 Where I’m from, it means more than just to punch. It usually refers to beating the shit out of someone. ---

Garius, don’t worry. The cut scenes you’re missing are just to let you know that winnie the pooh quite liked his honey jars, and now tigger wants you to help him bounce up and catch the baloons. ---

> [@Lynn Bodoni](#): > > Let’s just say that five pounds is the MINIMUM necessary for him to be twatted any time in the near future. Or even in his lifetime. I might decide to have him race chocobos for his penance. Oh, my. I’ve been there. Don’t have him race chocobos, that’s actually kind of fun. Have himtrain your characters for you for a couple of hours. (running round and round and round and round and round and round in circles!) ---

FYI North American Dopers: the “twatted” in question, should you wish to begin employing it in your life/workplace/church, is pronounced with the short soft “a,” as in “fat,” not the long soft “a” as in “straw.” **I say we get out there and _twat it!!_** - Dave Lister, sans fear, in “Polymorph” episode of Red Dwarf (Season 3), 1989 ---

> [@Rodd Hill](#): > > …not the long soft “a” as in “straw.” Who pronounces it "_twawted"_? Maybe the Queen does: _“Sod orf, commoner, or ai shall twort you”_. 😃 Twat (hit) rhymes with _fat_. Twat (furry chequebook) rhymes with _got_, no? ---

I think **Rodd** ’s note was intended only for those North Americans who aren’t anglophilic enough to be familiar with the verb “twat,” and would likely mentally pronounce “I’ll twat ya” with the same pronunciation used for the colloquial anatomical signifier. This would make it sound a Brooklyn cabbie’s threat, which isn’t the right effect at all. Ya teat. 😛 ---

On the other hand, I suck at the chocobo races, and don’t like them at all. I even prefer the lightning dodging quest to racing and/or training chocobos. Of course I am speaking of FFX, here. I enjoy racing chocobos in FFVII. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/talk-through-one-more-cut-scene-and-ill-twat-ya/295473.md?page=1)
