question for people from the UK

I was just watching a movie called 50 dead men walking, and there is a scene where there are some IRA guys are interrogating and torturing a guy they found out was leaking info. They called him some word, I couldnt understand it, but it sounds sinonymous to a snitch (what they would say in the US). It sounded like they were saying tite? tike? I couldnt tell, anyone know?

Sounds Irish to me, I'm English.

No idea, may be his name was Mike and you weren't listening properly. Main land UK, a "snitch" is a "grass".

A snitch is called a "grass" in the UK.

Could be some kind of Irish slang. With the Republic of Ireland not being part of the UK, I wouldn't know.

I'm from Northern Ireland, I havn't seen the movie but there is no slang Irish word in English or Irish (Not that I know any Irish tbf apart from afew words)that sounds like 'Tike'.

Edit: Can I also say, take any film bassed in Northern Ireland with a grain of salt alot of the time there very political ad usualy biased one way or another and rarely represent accuratly the sitution (Mostly because it's to long and boring to be grasped in the hour and a half of a movie).

I'm from the Republic and I've seen the movie but I haven't got a notion what you're on about. I'd have to see it again.

The word's "tout", but I've no idea what it means in this context.

*edit* You're right, it's 'informer'.
