   • 2000 December 18, BBC and Bafta Tribute to Michael Caine, 16:43–17:05:

     Parkinson: You made films before, but the part that really made your name was Zulu, wasn’t it […] and there of course—against type—you played the toff, you played the officer.

     Caine: I played the officer, yeah, and everybody thought I was like that. Everyone was so shocked when they met me, this like Cockney guy had played this toffee-nosed git.

Usage notes

• Git is usually used as an insult, more severe than twit but less severe than a true profanity like wanker or arsehole, and may often be used affectionately between friends. Get can also be used, with a subtle change of meaning. “You cheeky get!” is slightly less harsh than “You cheeky git!”.
• Git is frequently used in conjunction with another word to achieve a more specific meaning. For instance a “smarmy git” refers to a person of a slimy, ingratiating disposition; a “jammy git” would be a person with undeserved luck. The phrase “grumpy old git”, denoting a cantankerous old man, is used with particular frequency.
• In parts of northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, get is still used in preference to git. In the Republic of Ireland, get, rather than git is used.
• The word has been ruled by the Speaker of the House of Commons to be unparliamentary language.
