'My bad'

[goodnightgrumble]

My teenagers say it and now my husband said it! Might have to punch him in the face! I hate it!
It really gets me angry. I cringe when I hear it.

It's definitely missing a noun.

It's so stupid. Yet another idiotic Americanism.

I feel exactly the same how on earth did it start?It’s absolute nonsense!

I love it, soz

I hate that as well. My ex dh used to say it and I swear it’s one of the reasons I wanted to divorce him.

It used to annoy me, but I'm trying to embrace it. After all, the sentiment behind it (admitting to having made a mistake) is good, yes?

I hate it too.

It’s irritating. Even more so if said in a child like voice.

I really dislike it.

I've seen it used at work on emails etc and think it looks really unprofessional.

Even in a social text it still grates.

I was just coming on to say that someone would be along in a minute to complain about about another blooming Americanism, but they got in there already.

I don't mind "My bad": it may have ungrammatical beginnings, but it is usually presented in a good natured way and shows a bit of humility.

It’s useful. Sorry and to the point.
It’s always good when someone admits to doing wrong isn’t it?

I agree with those saying it's useful and well intentioned. So it's not your culture, so the Queen might not say it, doesn't mean it can't be British.

It reminds me of "no worries". I'm not Australian, but it's a useful phrase and it's pretty bog standard British now too.

I use it .
My bad. Innit 😃

I use it a lot. It's genuine too and it expresses exactly what I mean without having to apologise for something that doesn't actually require an apology.

I'm not British and my entire vocabulary is a mash up between American and British English,depending on which term I'm most familiar and comfortable with.

You sound like the smart arse at work that found oh so hilarious and note worthy when I used patty instead of burger. She's barely fluent and accurate in English, much less in more than two languages.

It’s bloody awful! I don’t get why people say it although I know what it means.

I don’t like it. When someone says it to me I read that they’re trying to swerve saying sorry so I find it a bit weak.

Ugh.

My bad what?

God it's awful. I hate it.

Yup... It says it was my fault but I am not sorry. I do not like it.

Yup... It says it was my fault but I am not sorry. I do not like it.

It's not intended as an apology though. Similarly "It's my fault", "Mea Culpa" or "Oops, that was me" aren't apologising either; they're all merely admissions of culpability. I'm sure most who use the phrase would also use it alongside a separate "sorry".

I hate it.

I was thinking just the same thing - pathetic isn't it.
