MrWolf Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 26 minutes ago, Captain Cuttle said: "innit" i dont recall this word being used in pre decimal days? According to The Wolf's guide to humans that annoy me but I am not allowed to shoot, an "Innit" is a type of British urban youth that classifieds itself as "Gangsta" and "Straight outta Compton". This is despite actually being "Chavvy" and "Straight outta Chorley". This creature seeks validation for its existence by ending every sentence with the word "innit?" 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocor Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 1 hour ago, Captain Cuttle said: "innit" i dont recall this word being used in pre decimal days? As an abbreviation of "isn't it", innit has always been used in my lifetime (which certainly dates back to pre-decimal). Innit a lovely day. In post-decimal days its usage has been expanded to a question placed at the end of a sentence, such as: "We need to decide what to do about that now innit." (don't we?) "Now I can start calling you that, INNIT!" (can't I?) "I can see where my REAL friends are, elsewhere innit!!" (aren't they?) "I'll show young Miss Hanna round to all the shops, innit." (won't I?) "I heard he was good in TNA when he was there so he can still wrestle good innit?" (can't he?) 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Back to obscure old cars that I would like cluttering up my garage. Always reminds me of an early example of an "Innit" commenting in the negative about one of my cars, (1949 Humber SuperSnipe IIRC) they said: "I wouldn't be seen dead in that" The reply was, "You won't, I'll put your body in the boot." 3 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
