The Twits is a 1980 children's novel by British author Roald Dahl. It was first published by Jonathan Cape. The story features The Twits (Mr. and Mrs. Twit), a spiteful, idle, unkempt couple who continuously play nasty practical jokes on each other to amuse themselves, and exercise their devious wickedness on their pet monkeys.
Mr Twit felt that this hairiness made him look terrifically wise and grand. But in truth he was neither of these things. Mr Twit was a twit. He was born a twit. And now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever. The hair on Mr Twit's face didn't grow smooth and matted as it does on most hairy-faced men.

(Ages 8 to 11) “Mr. Twit was a twit. He was born a twit. And now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever.” That goes for Mrs. Twit too. But twit, which is a funny word, seems scarcely adequate for the two villainous people described by Roald Dahl with such relish.
