my favorite is "innit"

That just sounds so cliché when written. Seriously.
It something your uncle or nannan would say when they're trying to do an impression of a chav. Along with the hand symbol for "west-side" or something equally as embarassing.

Lol it has always made me cringe, which is why I rarely if ever do it, unless I'm being ironic with Bandshelll or something.

I think the farthest I've gone is saying "big up" seriously, but that's not an exclusively UK thing, is it?

That's a horrible and familiar image you just painted there.

nan nan is admittedly worth appropriating unironically

my favorite part is the 'telephone' aspect where the jamaican context is double removed.

the many bastardizations of BIG UP (YOUR CHEST) are the best
