innit

A universal "tag question" to replace all the others (isn't it, doesn't it, wasn't it, weren't they, aren't we wouldn't you, etc) and about bloody time too! While the French have n'est-ce pas and the Germans nicht wahr, we have all these different tags that make English that much more difficult to learn as a second language. What a pity it has been stigmatised by the antichav brigade ie a bunch of snobs with a trendy new hat for their class prejudices.

Be good if there was just one universal tag question innit

St. Ignatius College Prep

Although there is an SICP in California, the "sicker" one is in Chicago, Illinois.

Sure, the students have a strict dress code, and could tell other Ignatians from a mile away just by what they're wearing, but that doesn't mean they're awful/cultish people. Do not mistake all Ignatians for dumb kids who get all of their cash from their parents. Sure, some are like that, but many get jobs over the summer to save money for their college funds, to buy Kanye West T-shirts and matching sunglasses, or to buy tickets to Lollapalooza; a weekend concert which takes place every year in the first week of August.
These kids are hard workers, and on top of that, have a good fashion sense.
(well, a lot of them do.)

HINT: you can tell an ignatian from others if they've visited/heard of at least 20 different neighborhoods in Chicago.

StudentFromOtherSchoolOnTrain (either at Lasalle, Union, or Ogilvie): who are they?
Student 2: let's see here... Birkenstocks, northface, more presentable than the average person... they must be an Ignatian.
StudentFromOtherSchoolOnTrain: an Ignatian?
Student 2: yes. a person who comes from St. Ignatius College Prep.
