''Git'' is a mild pejorative with origins in British English for an unpleasant, silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person. It is usually an insult, more severe than ''twit'' or ''idiot'' but less severe than ''wanker'', ''arsehole'' or ''twat''.〔 The word ''git'' first appeared in print in 1946, but is undoubtedly older. It is originally an alteration of the word ''get'', dating back to the 14th century. A shortening of ''beget'', ''get'' insinuates that the recipient is someone's misbegotten offspring and therefore a bastard. In parts of northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland ''get'' is still used in preference to ''git''; the ''get'' form is used in the Beatles song "I'm So Tired". The word has been ruled by the Speaker of the House of Commons to be unparliamentary language. The word was used self-deprecatingly by Linus Torvalds in naming the git source control package.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GitFaq: Why the 'git' name? )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Git (slang)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
