  3. The term jit is originally prison slang. It just means somebody younger than you. However, it is most often used to refer to young wannabe or other punky kids.
    If you leave your car there, those jits will steal your spinners.

  4. Or , in the cycling world it means someone who is either weak or a bad bike handler or a combination of both.
    For example..."Jeff Chow is a jit"...just an example.
