Re: Its Official!!!!
Sorry Neil
But here is the real definition of a "Git" (English Meaning)
Git is a mild term for a person who is
incompetent, stupid, annoying, senile elderly or childish person
It is usually an insult, more severe than twit or idiot but less severe than
W-----,A-------or T---
Sorry cannot put the actual words in here!
Cheers
