"fool / silly person"

A gentle British insult for a silly, foolish person. So mild it's almost a term of endearment. Roald Dahl wrote an entire children's book called The Twits, which tells you everything about its severity level — you can put it in the title of a kids' book.

'Don't be such a twit, of course you should apply for the job.' Always more exasperated than angry.
