What it means
A classic mild insult for someone being irritating, daft, or a bit of a nuisance. You can lob it at a stranger when they cut the queue, or say it with a grin to a mate who’s winding you up. Not nuclear swearing, but it still stings when delivered deadpan.
Usage examples
"He barged past everyone at the bus stop, then acted surprised when we tutted. What a git, honestly, some people have no manners."
"Stop nicking my chips, you cheeky git, get your own from the counter like everyone else."
"The traffic warden gave me a ticket two minutes over, what an absolute git, it's pouring as well."
