What slang have you heard white Brits pick up over the years?

I feel like init is a good example, but wondering what others.

You better off asking my breh @Clapsteel O'Neal

To give you my answer.

Everything and I'm going back 25+ years. But you have to remember, a lot of the Jamaican/Caribbean slang in the UK started to become more common from dance music back in the 90's and pirate radio, where the black, white and beige/brown had unity on the music tip. So slang words reached the masses all over London and as a teenager you going to pick up words your peers are saying.

I consider innit in the same category as cant. Just the lazy version of Isn't it and Cannot, it has no colour, just working class background to it. Like I said, I was saying Innit back in the day as a kid:flabbynsick:.

Like the word ting, is both Irish/Jamaican/Caribbean. The Irish cannot say Th words together.

Pretty much this. Everyone pretty much uses the same slang. It's broken up by class and even that's thawing out cos all these posh dons try to beg road culture

Us west indians really fucced it up for "propa inglesh" lot :pachaha:
