Zebedee BS: Please explain the word 'Git' (61* d) RE: BS- Please explain the word 'Git' 25 Jan 01


Snuffy, yes

Bill, scouse is an abbreviation of 'lobscouse' which my dictionary defines as "A sailor's dish consisting of meat stewed with vegetables and ship's biscuit etc." which was apparently popular in Liverpool.

The dictionary also considers 'git' to be a varient of 'get' rather than the other way round, both deriving from 'beget' not 'illegitimate' as mentioned earlier.
