'Isn't It'. A phrase typically added at the end of a sentence, usually to confirm the agreement of the listener with one's statement. "You're up for another pint, innit?"
(v): to hoard something or act selfishly. I.e. "Don't bogart that joint, friend." Originated in 60's drug culture as a way to describe someone who was "hogging" a joint - which is traditionally supposed to be passed around. Apparently arose from the way that Humphrey Bogart allows a cigarette to dangle from his lips.

The sentiment of nostalgia, yearning and missing of home and beloved, this describes a bittersweet feeling that has no direct English translation.
