The superlative form of greatest (i.e. great, greater, greatest, greit). Generally used amongst friends to approve of each other or something someone has done, as one could also use words like 'awesome' or 'cool'. Often interpreted as a simple misspelling, it is not rarely used in a giggly or ironic context.
The word originated on Shiven, a popular server for the game Enemy Territory.
