What it means
A classic, fairly gentle insult for someone acting stupid, clueless, or just a bit annoying. It’s not proper venomous, more the word you lob when a mate forgets his keys again or a politician says something daft on telly. It can also mean the body part, so context usually does the heavy lifting.
Usage examples
"He turned up to the wake in a flamingo shirt and shades. What a tit. Even the vicar clocked it and gave him the look."
"Stop being a tit and put the traffic cone back before someone calls it in."
"He looked a proper tit dancing on his own, but he was having the time of his life."
