1. 1

    Tit has two very different meanings, so context matters a lot. It's the name of a small, common garden bird — a 'blue tit' is a well-known little bird in Britain, also called a 'titmouse.' It also appears in the old phrase 'tit for tat,' meaning to do something bad to someone because they did something bad to you first — a fair trade of harm for harm. Separately — worth knowing so you're not caught off guard — 'tit' is also a rude slang word for a woman's breast, so some speakers avoid saying the bird's name loudly in certain situations, or use 'titmouse' instead to be clear.
