We should take a lesson from the chavs and start using innit.


"Mary has work until 8 tonight innit?"

"That's your sub in my car innit?"

innit is best

http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/8234/who-inflects-innit

"In Britain, 'innit' is now used in street language as a catch-all tag question, exactly like n'est-ce pas. The whole point of it is that is not inflected, but used for everything, and that's what raises some people's hackles so much. The fact that it is regularly parodied on a couple of TV comedies has probably only increased its popularity with the young."


http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/innit
"(UK, Australia slang) Used as a replacement for any negative tag question, irrespective of person, number, and verb.
You like listening to pop music, innit?"



innit is a correct replacement for "isn't she?"  akudood;
