       @fluchtkapsel @dierksen @tess calling someone a "git" is roughly analogous to calling them a "bastard" in British English. It's generally viewed as being 'softer' version of that insult though.

       @Homebrewandhacking @fluchtkapsel @dierksen @tess It's certainly less popular nowadays. Also I suspect it maybe has a rural bent. These things tend to get detoxified with time. I believe "Nice" was originally an insult in old / middle English. It meant something like vacuous.
