覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
git は主にイギリスのくだけた悪口で、「愚かな人」「嫌な奴」を指します。a stupid git や you silly git のように人について使いますが、侮辱的なので使用場面には注意が必要です。ソフトウェアの版管理システム Git は固有名として大文字になることがあり、この一般名詞とは文脈で区別しましょう。
Treat git as a chiefly British informal insult for an annoying, foolish, or unpleasant person. Learn it in patterns such as a stupid git, an annoying git, or you silly git. The strength depends on tone and relationship: friends may use it jokingly, but it can still offend, so it is safer to recognize than to use casually. Context and capitalization also matter. The common noun git describes a person, whereas Git often refers to the software version-control system and is unrelated to this dictionary sense.

git の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古ノルド語 geta(得る・生む)から中英語 get(子供・私生児)を経た英俗語。元は「ろくでなし」の意味で、英国口語で愚かな人や嫌な奴を指す。関連語:get(得る)、beget(生む)。「生まれつきの厄介者」という蔑みが語源にある。
The insult git is generally treated as a variant of get, an older British term for an offspring and later a contemptible person. Get developed in Middle English from Old Norse geta, meaning to get, beget, or produce. The path from “offspring” to an abusive label is historical; modern speakers normally use git simply as an informal insult without awareness of that earlier sense.
