tit
What does “tit” mean in English?
This is a British insult for someone considered foolish or silly. It can also refer to a breast in a more informal context.
It's often thrown around as a light-hearted jab, similar to calling someone a 'twit' or 'dickhead.' The tone can range from playful to mildly offensive, depending on the context.

Swear Atlas is a source-attested, AI-curated reference — not a native-speaker-certified dictionary. Meanings and the 1–5 Burn Rating are approximate editorial assessments that vary with context, region, tone and speaker. Inclusion of a word does not constitute endorsement of its use.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
