Love it! 
Haha, oh dear, are we talking about someone in particular?
Help me out here. I thought a git was an old curmudgeon. We don’t say git in the states. 
“Git /ˈɡɪt/ is a term of insult denoting an unpleasant, silly, incompetent, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person .
As a mild oath it is roughly on a par with prat and marginally less pejorative than berk.”
Prat is a good alternative!

I do believe I understand it now! Thanks, my friend.
We don’t say prat or berk, but I get the gist of it… 
What would your derogatory word be?!
Idiot? Nincompoop?

A Northern variation is get - as in, you/the dozy get. 
I have just seen two adverts from the European Movement UK being
displayed on this thread!! WTF!!!
Donkeyman! 
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry ?
Ahhh, you must have been googling something to do with Europe - lorry queues in France, maybe?! 
The only Ad I’m seeing is one for ladies lingerie and fancy thongs adorned with pearls, which look impossibly uncomfortable to wear!
I always thought the 11th was “Thou shalt not get caught”

I keep getting those adverts for lingerie Boot, I don’t know why because I never wear womens lingerie through the week and the adverts are terribly distracting…
PS:- It’s a good job being smug is not a banning offence on the forum, otherwise we would be worryingly short of members…
