I like the alt. definition of this:
Noun 1. git - a person who is deemed to be despicable or contemptible; "only a rotter would do that"; "kill the rat"; "throw the bum out"; "you cowardly little pukes!"; "the British call a contemptible person a `git'"

Nah. Won't work for me. I never could roll my Rs. However, I *can* curl my tongue, for what it's worth.

Particularly effective in the phrase "pompous old git". Today's wordie link on twitter brought it to mind immediately! Par 5 just takes the cake. Give me the playful "superficiality" of wordies any day.
