[E-Q&A] Re: [SOC] Easter Monday

Paul - Your comment and use of an epithet that we don't use on this side of
the pond reminds me that I need a translation. I read the 5th Harry Potter
novel (while my son was not getting around to it). In this one, early on,
several folks who are not approved of are referred to as a "git". What the
H*#@ does "git" mean in this context? Thanks, 73 Jan N0AAA
