The word ‘Innit’, short for ‘I’m too lazy to finish the sentence’, has become far too common for my liking.

I have become a little concerned that this word more than any other is becoming to define a whole generation of people.

And there is nothing we or anyone else can do about it.

But I think we have done this word a disservice over the years. Wherever you go you will hear this famous word used in almost every sentence. Normally the person saying it has no idea they have said it.

Even those who pretend to be richer than everyone else can’t help themselves from saying it.

But some time ago this was not the case.

Most of us hated the word ‘innit’ because only the commoners used the word. Everyone else frowned upon this word as it made them feel ‘lower class’.

Funnily enough even those from abroad found the word offensive. ‘I went to England and all they said was ‘innit’ this and ‘innit’ that'. Sometimes you would hear the word and turn your nose up at the silly boys and girls who just couldn’t say ‘Isn’t it’.

But then it happened – they all started saying it. When a person agreed with something he or she would blurt out ‘innit’.

Common everyday language was taken over by this horrible word. And it didn’t matter where you used it.

“My curry tastes a little salty..innit.’ “Can I have garlic and chilli with that..innit.”

“My wife is at Asda again..innit.”

“What time you going to be at the wedding?..innit.”

‘You’re such a fatty’...she said, ‘Innit’ was the reply.

Innit, at times you could begin and end a sentence with the word, innit.

The posh folk, the poor folk, the polite people – everyone was at it.

I was in a store the other day and I heard the word used several times by both the customer and the lady behind the counter.

I am not sure whether either knew how many times they had said it. A world gone mad.

But all good things must come to an end and what once ended in ‘innit’ has now become ‘sick’.

Sick innit...
