bilby She hates sushi, innit? Aug 21, 2010
yarb Great explanation from qroqqa, although I'm struggling to imagine the sentence "she likes sushi, innit?" ever taking wing in the England with which I'm familiar - which I suppose means I'm a snob. Aug 21, 2010
thesaraheffect May not be exclusively British. I first heard this phrase on the film adaptation of Sherman Alexie's "Smoke Signals" Sep 18, 2009
qroqqa The key thing about 'innit' is that it's invariant, like French n'est-ce pas, German nicht wahr, Italian non è vero, Turkish değil mi. In contemporary southern English English it is replacing the insanely complicated standard English construction:
I couldn't find my toothbrush, could I? / innit?
You have got a passport, haven't you? / innit?
We found it yesterday, didn't we? / innit?
She likes sushi, doesn't she? / innit?
They'll come tomorrow, won't they? / innit? Apr 12, 2009
nicotec 'Isn't It'. A phrase typically added at the end of a sentence, usually to confirm the agreement of the listener with one's statement. "You're up for another pint, innit?" Jan 14, 2008
