Related to that: Someone not in law enforcement finds slime or something that could be blood and they immediately stick their finger into to.

Similarly, law enforcement officer finds a plastic envelope of a powdery substance suspected to be illegal drugs, and the first thing he does is stick his finger in then put it in his mouth to taste it. :rolleyes
Portraying gun owners/ firearms enthusiasts as "Gun Nuts" & Rednecks. Perfect example is the Tom Cruise flick "Jack Reacher". The dialogue between Reacher & "Gunny" Cash (played by Robert Duvall) in the gun store. Duvall's character insinuates that the cct system is installed to prevent his 'customers' from killing him is typical hollywood crap.
American teenagers on a camping trip in the woods in a log cabin, serial killer on the loose, all is fine for the first couple of days, then !!! Strange noise at night the lights don't work, one is killed, Arghhhhhhhhh!!!! BUT THEY STAY IN THE CABIN !! They keep walking into dark rooms with no light no torch no light from there mobile phone !!! Not to mention no mobile phone signal, then another one is murdered Arghhhhhhh !!! LETS STAY !! WE HAVE TO STAY !!!! My truck has mysteriously stopped working, let's walk around at night in our underwear scantily clad, ( can't complain there it's a must )even though our friends have been murdered I still need to wear nearly nothing for bed because i really need to sleep !!!! and there's always one girl who survives and the cops always turn up at the end wrap her in a blanket to comfort her blah blah blah !!!!!
Oh and why are all the bad girls in American movies portrayed by well spoken English toffee nose twots ( you meet one over this side of the pond and they can't do anything without the fear of breaking an expensive manicured nail and no they can't do Kung foo or karate for the girl on girl bitch fight at the end.

Ok, but what about when they're the only with a hood up and puilled way over, additionally, they're walking with their head down so that you can't see their face. I can kind of understand regular, every day fold not really paying attention but what about cops or town guard (in a medieval type setting) looking for said person? If you were looking for someone wouldn't you stop the only person in a crowd with a hood on and looking like they're trying hard to avoid any sort of eye contact?

People pronouncing tw@t incorrectly in American movies. They even had Jason Statham doing it in Spy!

Ok, that's a good point. The cops are looking for someone and they turn away as the cops go by, very obviously so. I think a cop would recognize that move...
Yeah. I got capped in the foot once (no, not self-inflicted, it went laterally across the top of my foot from an accidental discharge during a training exercise, that guy is still doing pushups from that, I bet). It was the most minor bullet wound you could get and still be able to say you got shot (by the Webster definition only) and it hurt like heck for several days and ached for a few weeks.

I've only ever heard it rhyme with 'that'. How else would it sound?
Rhyme with caught? It comes down to where the word originated. Sort of like how the British mispronounce jaguar.

If it rhymes with 'caught' (which I've heard pronounced at least 4 different ways depending on where in America the accent is from) then I'm assuming it's deliberate so it's more mild: kinda like how some UK folks say 'ass' and '****e'. After all, some consider tw@t to be vulgar and in reference to female genitalia.

In the U.K. it rhymes with "that", in the U.S. it rhymes with "caught". Countries divided by a common language.
