innit

Abreviation of isn't it (Is it not)
"Innit" is put at the end of a question or statement meaning either:
- Do you agree?
or
- Are you following me/Do you understand?

"Innit has classically been added at the end of a sentence that contains the verb "to be", as "ISn't it" obviously refers back to a conjugation of the this verb. (See example 1.)
These days though, "innit" can be used eventhough the verb in the main sentence is not a form of "to be". (See example 2)
Example 1: That cake IS nice, innit?

Example 2: Cake GOES well with tea, innit?

innit

Derives from the chav/townie/pikey sub-culture, but falsely over-labbeled on the British Asian Communities. Innit is a shortened version of is it not, in context, it would be "is it not?" which we can see is a question due to the required question mark and change in the pitch of the voice to indicate a question is being asked. Chavs, however, due to their lack of education (zero GCSEs) and ignorance towards learning English at school because "i already speaks it, innit", tend to, more often than not, use the term innit when a statement has been used, rather than a question.
Linguists and scientists have studied chav language and have determined the following:
1) they have tried to invent their own language
2) this is because they do no understand standard English
3) they use their "pikey-speak" to communicate with other like chavs
4) they speak in a pattern:
5) (noun), (obscene word), (verb), (subject), (innit)!
6) the pattern of speech repeats itself
7) the order may be altered according to IQ of the chav

Innits Minutes

Meme - Wasted conversation spoken into phones by chavs and innits, these are the pointless words that burn through their pay-as-you-go or contract minutes without adding any reasonable content to the conversation.

It is due to this phenomenom that mobile network providers feel it is necessary to have tariffs that have in excess of 200 minutes included in their price plans.

Copyright McGeorge & Hurwitz 2010
Typically words such as, "no, bruv, listen, init an' that,
yeah!"

Normal sentence: "I am walking down the road now."
Innit Minute consuming sentence: "I'm like just like um trekking like down your like street now blud innit."

As you can see from this example, am "Innits Minutes" consuming sentence is 100% longer than a normal sentence thus resulting in the need for more minutes in their monthly plan.

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
