What a bad choice for a name. Was it intentional?

I'm the author, it was definitely intentional :D

I'm sure you made your 12-year old brother giggle a little when you came up with that one. Well done. Isn't this past your bed-time?

I think the name is referenced in the README, but for fullness sake-

Originally it was to be called the twitterator, because I'm not great at naming things. Evidently twitter won't let you have twitter in the name, so I changed it to twatterator.. which is a noun, not a verb. Logical verb is twat.

And here I thought everyone might have had their fill of this kind of thing after the whole "upskirt" kerfuffle from earlier this year.

No man page. No help entry. Seems to be broken. Where's the docs?

Granted yes, the docs suck. I will update them this weekend.
