For a woman who plans her every public appearance in meticulous detail, it must have come as quite a surprise when 16-year-old Aker Okoye bounded on to the stage – and went straight in for a kiss on the cheek.
To rapturous applause from fellow pupils at Robert Clack Upper School in Dagenham, East London, Aker beamed as the Duchess of Sussex laughed and wagged her finger in mock admonishment.
And he still wasn’t finished. Waiting for the cheers to die down – and with excellent comic timing – he then leaned in to the microphone to say: ‘She really is beautiful, innit.’ Cue more whoops.
They interviewed this young man, (and his mum,) on breakfast TV this morning. Very bright and affable chap, he has a great future ahead of him, but will always be known as the; "She really is beautiful, innit," boy.

Not at all. Please do not tell me you never use the teenage argot of your youth or I'll be forced to read back through your posts...

Pretty sure the teen argot of Meade’s youth is something like this: “ What, you egg! Young fry of treachery!”

Curses! Discovered!
“I say, you fellows, I’m fearfully keen on it. I say, you help me through with my lines, and I’ll come down to the nets—it’s pretty rotten for a fellow to have to stick indoors writing lines when he wants to be at the nets. Tain’t much of an impot if we whack it out all round.”
Isn't "piss off" current terminology?

Yeah but it means what it says. It's not pig ignorant misplacing of "isn't it" after a sentence that doesn't fit
