It strikes me as odd that a non-standard colloquial expression like this could be considered good English. I definitely say 'no'.

It depends on your definition of 'good'. I voted for it because it's such a useful and expressive little word. It's a welcome addition to the langauge, IMO, and I look forward to it being welcomed properly.

becoming the norm is one thing - adding it to the end of every sentence is quite another, innit.

I often use it in conversation, but always jocularly.

If you say this, you should be ashamed of yourself.

That's funny. Australian's go one better. They have a 3 letter word that is really 3 words. e.g. Jav any beer?
