General
twp
What does twp mean?
Daft, slow, a bit thick. Said with a half-smile more often than real venom — 'don't be twp' is the way a Welsh nan tells you you're being a wally. Can be properly insulting depending on tone, but usually it's the soft version of stupid.
"Don't be twp, you can't put metal in the microwave."
Origin
From Welsh 'twp' meaning stupid or dull-witted. Pronounced 'toop' to rhyme with 'soup'. Used affectionately as often as it's used as an insult.
