Anyone want to translate CHAV? I don't feel qualified.

One piece of chav-speak is "innit" which is used pretty much the same way the French use "n'est-ce pas?" -- stick it on the end of any declarative sentence to make it a question. EG:

Your favourite pudding is mince pie, innit?
You're going to leave here very quickly and quietly, innit?
You never saw any of this, innit?

"Pudding" by the way refers to any dessert. What the Americans call pudding, Brits would call custard. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

O..O
