In the technology-driven age that we live in, there is no doubt that the greeting card industry has suffered a little. Thankfully, there is a section of the community determined to keep the tradition of sending handwritten cards alive – grandparents.
UK artist Henry Fraser was probably not surprised to receive a birthday card from his grandmother this year, but the cheeky underlying message was surely a bit of a shock.
At first glance, the greeting card seems innocent enough. There’s even a cute stick-figure man holding a glass of wine on the cover.
"I can best describe you in just a few words," the cover of the card reads. "Terrific, wonderful, awesome, tremendous."
How sweet, right?
Um...not quite.
The first letters of each adjective are bolden and capitalised, put the letters together and it spells the insult 'twat'.
Got this birthday card from my grandma. The sentiment is beautiful, but she didn't realise what the card was trying to say! ???????? pic.twitter.com/QbBFaj5d1C

Lmao
I must be getting old because I have to admit unless I had some additional clues from the context, I don't think I'd get the subtext either...
