Old English dual pronoun meaning “the two of you”, pronounced “yit”. Not to be confused with the modern word “git”. This word is a much more useful and concise way of referring to a pair of people than anything in Modern English, but sadly fell out of fashion by the late Middle English period.

By definition it's a "rotter" or a despicable person. In reality in English it's a colloquialism that affords itself to a more a luckier fellow. Much like a 'bugger' whilst the roots of the word are offensive, the actual use is endearing. A lucky 'git', a wealthy 'git' and a sodding 'git'... when used right is still a mate. A friend.

It's more positive these days.

The origins are from the word 'geat' which were a Scandinavian people living in Götaland, land of the Geats, currently within the borders of modern Sweden. The name of the Geats lives on in the Swedish counties of Västergötland and Östergötland, the Western and Eastern lands of the Geats, as well as in many toponyms.

An adult male of low worth, no manners and zero style, but who is convinced that he alone is the king of the world. Men resembling this definition are frequently to be found in positions of high social status and have only got there either through birth or by lying, cheating, stealing or other underhanded means. In this context, the word has little or no meaning outside the UK.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
