"Twat" is probably not something that a Yank would know they are being described as, let alone self-describing for a bit of a dramatic effect. I'm off of the UK.
I do find it comforting that a pretty niche en_GB insult has been swilled around the gobs of enough people on the planet, that it is recognisable to a Thailander (bit of an assumption). That implies to me that due to the power of the internet (anyone can talk to anyone) a lot of messages are transcending some huge boundaries. This one is a rather obscure and a rather juvenile insult, but I'm sure rather more positive messages get through too.
I should probably point out to anyone that doesn't know, that "twat" is a euphemism for female genitalia.
I will ask that you don't conflate all english speakers with the USofA, quite a few other countries speak english too as a first language. I don't take offence - they are starting to shape up quite well (bless). I'm also not too sure about trotting out the first -> third world thing is too useful these days - that's all a bit last century or earlier. I like to think we have moved on somewhat since then. However, if you think it is still a useful way to categorize parts of the planet - let's debate that.
