My mother used to work for the Leipzig (trade)Fair Agency in London in the 1970's and occasionally was invited to attend functions at the East German Embassy.
After going to one, her boss asked her the next day how it went. She said "Lovely, but the Ambassador is a real twat". After a bit of a shocked silence, he asked her if she knew what the word meant and where she got it from.....
Naturally my brother and I got a clip round the ear and an early supper when she got home
At that time the word was meant in its raw form (ie the "c" word( and hadn't evolved into the less harsh generic meaning that Muddy described.
