A blunt British and Australian insult for someone who is staggeringly stupid, incompetent, or contemptibly foolish. Fuckwit is punchy and all-purpose — it can describe someone who's done something spectacularly dim, or someone you simply find insufferable. Unlike some compound swears, it carries more exasperation than raw aggression, often deployed with a kind of weary disbelief. Standard vocabulary in Australian workplaces, football terraces, and British comedy.
He'd managed to delete the entire project folder instead of just one file — absolute fuckwit move.
