A "git" is another UK term that you dont know like the "yob"..... a git is bascially a rather unpleasant character that one doesnt like for whatever reason - typically they are tight, unreasonable or have crossed you in the past. However in my context i wasn't using anu of these but referring to a person who unwittingly got done over by the powers at be.

How about "plonker" do you kow that one? i think that describes our mutual friend form friday quire well who dragged you through the dirt with our glourish yob culutre we have back home.
