- mirimir 11y ago> Git is a mild pejorative with origins in British English for a silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person. It is usually an insult, more severe than twit or idiot but less severe than wanker, arsehole or twat.[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28slang%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28slang%29
