is it
Skeptic's terse challenge
A tag question seeking confirmation or expressing mild surprise, appended to statements: Cold today, is it?
So that's your plan, is it?
The construction often carries skepticism or challenge, suggesting the speaker doubts or disapproves of what they've just heard.
In Irish and British English, it commonly functions as a conversational filler acknowledging someone's statement.
