I spent most of this Goanet meeting thinking about the ultimate meaning of the word "innit", used frequently by Bernado "Ole Xac" Colaco on Goanet. Towards the very end of the meet, too late to launch into a protracted noisy argument, I resolved to do a google search "onnit". I just "diddit". What I found is truly demystifying. "Innit" is British slang for "isn't it" used especially by Indians and Pakistanis i. e. by Bharatis. In other words, Bernado is really a Bharati. My hunch is, he is the only Bharati who has not benefited from the Bharati invasion of 1961, and therefore, is jealous of the rest of us, Bharatis, who have.
