Jacques Tits (12 August 1930 – 5 December 2021) was a Belgium-born French mathematician who worked on group theory and incidence geometry. He introduced Tits buildings, the Tits alternative, the Tits group, and the Tits metric.
Tits received the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 1993, the Cantor Medal from the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (German Mathematical Society) in 1996, and the German distinction "Pour le Mérite". In 2008 he was awarded the Abel Prize, along with John Griggs Thompson, "for their profound achievements in algebra and in particular for shaping modern group theory"
This guy really WAS "the tits".
I am sure the rest of you can add some of your thoughts.

If you really wanted to honor him, you’d post some tits.

What can you say about Jacques, other then he was the tits!
Posted on 12/6/21 at 9:14 am to LSUGrad9295
I guess the real question is, was he a little tits or a big fat tits?
