Several decades later, his fellow Brit poet Robert Browning thought that "twat" meant a hat. From LitHub.com (from [an article on the origins of the word "fuck"](https://lithub.com/a-brief-history-of-the-most-famous-swear-word-in-the-world/)): >In a striking example of some Victorians’ unfamiliarity with bawdy vocabulary, we see that the poet Robert Browning egregiously misunderstood one common word. He encountered the couplet “They talked of his having a cardinal’s hat, / They’d send him as soon an old nun’s twat,” in a seventeenth- century poem. Erroneously believing from this passage that the last word referred to a part of a nun’s habit, Browning wrote of “Cowls and twats” in his 1848 poem Pippa Passes.
