"An eejit is a person or animal with an implant in its head." (In Nancy Farmer's 'The House of the Scorpion', 2002)
In the book, people who break the law, do bad things, etc. are turned into eejits. Eejits are basically human robots. Eejits can only perform simple tasks, such as cleaning, harvesting, looking after animals, etc. An eejit can only perform tasks after it has been instructed to do so, and will continue to perform that task until instructed to stop.
Also a nicer way of calling someone an idiot, usually jokingly.

"The Farm workers are eejits!" cried Matt.
Rosa, a character in the story, was turned into an eejit for not looking after Matt properly because he was a clone.
A "Safe Horse" is an eejit; it will not eat, drink or otherwise move until it is told to do so or dies.
You're such an eejit!

Irish colloquialism derived from 'idiot' meaning fool or simpleton tending to act in a comically irrational way.
"She's an eejit. She thought her car had been stolen so called her parents, her insurance company and the police to report the theft. Next morning she found she'd parked round the corner."

A human with a computer chip implanted into his or her brain. Eejits are similar to mindless zombies and only obey voice command orders. If an eejit were told to stay it would stay at the same spot until it was told otherwise even if it were in a lifethreatening condition.
