...And I heard "bloody little twit" used in the same way whilst we
were in the UK.

As a child here in Lancashire UK (and elsewhere I'm sure), the term "Sissy"
was the standard word for someone, especially a child or young person, who
was soft, or effeminate or who pursued "un-manly" activities. The lad in our
class at school who went for ballet lessons was the archetypal sissy and
suffered greatly for his art!
