Do learn to spell, please.
If you cross a horse with a donkey, you *get* a mule. If you *get* a
woman pregnant, and she has a child, the child is what you *get* from
the relationship.
Every human being is, therefore, a "get".
But where does the "git" spelling come from?
Dictionary of the Scots Language GYTE, adj., n.
1 Also gite, geyt, geit(e), gaet.
I. adj. 1. Mad, insane, demented, out of one's senses; mad with rage,
pain, fear, joy, etc.; silly, foolish.
Frequently seen in phrases such as "to gae (gang) gyte" or "was Hamlet
gyte?" (General Scots)

I will assume then that you are not British if you have never heard of the
mild insult 'git'. If you are posting to UK newsgroups I would suggest you
make yourself familiar with UK phrases matey boy.
