I detest "innit".
I hear it more and more, and it makes me shudder.
Generally the younger "yoof" type I have to say, but in conversation with a 55 year old colleague yesterday, it made two cringeworthy apearances.
I was talking to a mid-twenties lad last week, who appeared to have replaced all of his full-stops with "innits" to the point where I thought it was a new form of puntuation. It went something along these lines.
Got an appointment.
I'm sorry?
Got an an appointment, innit.
What time for?
8 o'clock, innit
It's twenty past
Traffic, innit. Accident, stuck for ages, innit.
Can you go to reception at the front of the building, and they will help you.
Parking here innit.
No, you need to be in the bays at the front out of the way of the trucks.
Leave it here, then get appointment innit
No, take your car, drive round to the bays and report to reception, they will help you there.
Just walk across there, innit.
No, they will need your car. Get in it (Oh, blimey, I've started now) and go to reception.
Anyway, you get the picture.
