All of this is based on fan theory, nothing has been confirmed.

It is believed that each of the words represents the negative aspects of the four houses although it is not exactly clear which house each word represents.

Some believe that Nitwit stands for Ravenclaw, Blubber for Gryffindor, Oddment for Slytherin and Tweak for Hufflepuff. Others believe it is Nitwit for Ravenclaw, Blubber for Slytherin, Oddment for Hufflepuff and Tweak for Gryffindor.

One thing most tend to agree on is that Nitwit is for Ravenclaw who see the 'others' (as in those in the other houses) as nitwits because the are not intelligent enough to be placed in Ravenclaw.

Another theory is that the words stand for four fears people have at schools. Nitwit - failing school or being behind, Blubber - not having enough courage and falling apart, Oddment - not fitting in, Tweak - hating the school.

Of course, the words could just be gibberish.

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone the hat told Harry that he had a good mind, talent, plenty of courage and the thirst to prove himself.
