eejit
Someone quite daft
Eejit is the Irish and Scottish spelling of idiot, reflecting regional pronunciation.
It functions as a mild, often affectionate insult—closer to fool or dummy than a serious accusation of stupidity: Don't be such an eejit.
The word carries warmth that its standard English equivalent lacks, making it suitable for teasing friends or chiding oneself: I locked my keys in the car like a complete eejit.
