similar to innit where by innit is often
rhetorical, isit poses a question that
begs answering. Often eshews
syntax of pre contracted form("is it?")
Example:
-"dude, Aah've bin wahlkin
ahl ouver Luundin
ahn I aint seen a baegil store anyplace"
-"

scottish version of
innit.
innit is an abreviation of 'isnt it' and can be roughly translated to 'dont you agree?'
the scottish version of course doesnt
make sense as it turns what would originally be a statement into a question.
Example:
scotland- 'its cold outside isit?'
rest of uk- 'its cold outside
innit?'
(honestly
it does mean the same thing!)
Isit?!

UK Slang/ meaning 'really?' or
'is it(the situation)?!' Short utterance that can be used to acknowledge having heard the other person speak. The beauty of this phrase is
that what's come before it is virtually irrelevant!
Arguably most widespread in South East England.
Example:
'Oi, your mum said we could burn a spliff in
the living room I swear...'
'Isit?!'
'Malcolm, I'm becoming more and more worried, I mean, she hasn't come home for five days now and there's posters all round
Harrow with her
face on...'
'Isit?!'

More Core language from
High Wycombe, England but this is used
elsewhere as well. Used to question a statement but is more often
rhetorical than not. Not to be confused with 'izit?' which demands an answer.
