The structure is a short, simple noun of uncertain origin, possibly a clipped form of "gidget" (a young, inexperienced person) or from African American Vernacular English (AAVE). It is used in Florida and parts of the Southern US to describe a young person, often used by someone older to refer to someone younger, less experienced, or acting immaturely. People typically say "Listen here, jit" or "That jit doesn't know any better."
