innit

This word originates in "Chutney" or "Hinglish", a hybrid of English and words local to the region of India/Pakistan. It found its way into white street slang, and thus its association with "chavs" was born.

It is not linked to lack of education or "chavness", being perfectly acceptable to say in any company.

It is used in several ways:
1. As a further contraction of "isn't it". To show that the prior statement contained an element to which the listener is expected to agree, or disagree with.
2. As an expression of agreement.
3. To merely emphasize whatever came before it.
1. -It's raining outside, innit?

-These chav-bashers are cunts, innit?

2. -Innit! In fact, it's pissing it down.

- Innit! It must stem from some sense of inadequacy.

3. - Don't smoke that! There's kids here, innit!

innit

British slang. Question inflexion that can be added to the end of almost any sentence, prompting the listener to give an ackowlegement. Originally began as a contraction of the phrase "isn't it" (its self a contaction of "is it not") but now used in place of a huge variety of phrases, such as "don't you agree?" or "don't you think?" etc.

Can also be used to agree with a statement made by another, therefor representing the posivite of "isn't it" ("isn't it though!" etc.).

Popularised amongst the British Asian community, due to the highly multicultural nature of modern Britian, the term has quickly become almost toally universal in all generations born in the UK during the last thirty years.

innit

coming from downtown england, this word can be a noun, verb or adjective. The original meaning was 'isn't it' or anything along those lines but has now become just a fill-in word to make a sentence confusing and/or have zero meaning.

2."what yous lookin at innit?!"

innit

A stupid word townies say to finish every single sentence, along with "like", "mush" and "mate"

Often this is incorrect as "Innit" is a shortened form of "Isn't it" which is usually meant as a question.
Townie: An' ah was like at the club wit' ma mates innit
Smi: You go clubbing?
Townie: Yeah innit
Rabson: You're only 12!
Townie: Yeah innit don't ya mate?
Smi: No...
Townie: Oh ma God-a like! I can't believe ya don't go clubbin' innit!
