Back then, he was too busy finishing up his degree and juggling college to spare time for dating. He counts his one long-term relationship as something that gave him serious game. He&amp;#039;s a greenhorn, genuinely.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example two: I don&amp;#039;t blame her for breaking up with him with all the dits he&amp;#039;s been throwing her way. It was going to be a short matter of time before she realised a lot of it was just exaggerations. He puts on a good show, though, and I can understand why women are mesmerised by his stories. The only trouble is that when one sticks around, the facade starts to come apart! He needs to stop if he wants a woman to stick around.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/forcespenpals.net\/gb\/glossary\/what-does-dit-mean\/\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'>dit<\/a>. Sound familiar? The word &ldquo;<a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Dit&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;What Does Dit&nbsp;Mean?&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;Branch: British Army, Royal Navy&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Definition: To spin a dit, true dit. Sound familiar? The word &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; originates from the Royal Navy but, with time, was picked up by the British armed forces as well. Some sources suggest that if you look at the very beginning of this word&amp;#039;s lifetime, you will see that it stems from morse code communication, where instead of dah (which sounds funny in speech), an operator would ask for &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot;. Others think that it could have something to do with the French too. The word also has a cousin, i.e&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;red-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;497&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;497&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt; Gen Dit, which you can read about in our glossary as well!&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;In this day and age, &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; refers to a story, often exaggerated or outlandish. It&amp;#039;s quite closely related to spinning a tale that&amp;#039;s based somewhat loosely on the truth. In the context of relationships, this could refer to a person talking up their game far more than reality should permit them.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example one: James is always spinning one dit after another about his exploits from when he was younger, but the truth is he is full of hot air. Back then, he was too busy finishing up his degree and juggling college to spare time for dating. He counts his one long-term relationship as something that gave him serious game. He&amp;#039;s a greenhorn, genuinely.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example two: I don&amp;#039;t blame her for breaking up with him with all the dits he&amp;#039;s been throwing her way.
