What does EEJIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalIrish
A foolish or stupid person.
Eejit is an informal spelling that reflects an Irish and Scottish pronunciation of idiot, and it is used affectionately or mockingly rather than as a clinical term. Speakers often call someone an eejit over a harmless blunder rather than genuine cruelty, which softens the insult compared with idiot. The word appears frequently in Irish and Scottish dialogue, comedy and everyday speech. Because it mimics spoken pronunciation, eejit is rarely used in formal writing.
