Hahaha. That is too funny.

The whole "innit" thing cracks me up, especially when it is used where it doesn't make sense. I hear it all the time in London. I found this at a "Learning English" website from the BBC to enlighten our US compadres.
Some British people, especially people from the London area, pronounce 'isn't it?' as 'innit?' So they might say something like

'It's expensive, 'innit?''

So 'innit' means 'isn't it?' But 'innit?'' can also be used to replace all kinds of question tags: doesn't it, hasn't she, won't we etc.

Examples:
Sorry we're late. We missed the train, innit? (instead of 'didn't we?)
You have to buy a ticket before you go, innit? (instead of 'don't you?)
