innit?!

I say, my dear chums, chavs are merely Unix nerds and that is the reason they expanded http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init to fit in their daily jargon.

init, innit?!

It's more of an accent thing. Even I use it, but it's down to my Southern accent.

It's just like an even shorter way of saying "ain't it?" or it's used in agreement. I very rarely use it though. I hate catching myself say it.

You think it's merely due to accents? Why is it stereotypical of chavs, then?

I think maybe they copied each other saying it and it gradually evolved into a daily vocabulary term.

There was a girl at my old school in the UK who used to say it all the time even though she wasn't a chav, and every time she said it her friends copied but in a chav voice (as a joke). She eventually stopped saying it. lol.

in my day this sketch from Goodness Gracious Me increased the use of the word in my school although the slang term is a longer older
