"My Bad"

[TurkeyBurgerThing]

What? That's not recognisable grammar! Shut up.

Aaaargh.

Eh?

Agree, have heard this a few times recently.

It's just poor.

What does it mean? I have wondered...

YANBU it makes my teeth itch.

I suppose it's short for "Oh sorry, I take responsibility for the bad thing that I did. It belongs to me - it's my bad [thing]"

Why not just say sorry.

Hate it.

Oh I hate that bloody expression.

My stepdaughter (aged 28!) uses it on her FB page all the time and I do a sort of low growl every time I see it...

Its some sort of americanism that is very annoying.

I don't mind it but i hate

FAIL

OH FAIL

EPIC FAIL

etc....

why can't peeps just speak proper these days?

The latest one I have noticed is people putting "fact" after a comment.

ie Its very cold today. Fact.

Arghhhhhh..

I can live with "my bad".

The other day a grown man texted me to ask me out for a drink and it was in teenage text speak (he is a professional man, nearing 30). It was all "tonite" and "gud"

I didn't reply

We know an ancient american guy who uses it sometimes to say 'my mistake'. On him it's very quirky.

Haven't heard it over here yet. Can't imagine it without the deep south accent.

I agree with Maylee.

Way to fail to chat up a woman, stupid texting man.

It's on a lot of american sitcoms. Scrubs for instance. And it's VERY annoying

I like epic fail!

I had this at work last week, spotted a mistake when proof reading, emailed the author to advise and they emailed back saying "Thanks. My bad"

I was like "eh? They've not finished their sentence, what does this mean?!!>

A 21 year old colleague educated me.........

Even my toddler wouldn't say such an inane thing.

'My bad' is ancient. I am 33 and we used it as teenagers. It's an Americanism, from hip hop-inspired slang, and just means 'my bad move/ my bad judgement' sort of thing.

I really don't mind it.

grrrr.

i hate it.

I can't even read the thread because the phrase irritates me so much

"My bad" has been around for ages. We currently have a lot of "epic fail"s in our house. I like the fact that language changes all the time, it would be very dull if slang couldn't change over time!

Trill he really was a stupid texting man...

I think the expression is SORRY... 'actually'...

The one that drives me insane is "sick" as in good. DS1 (20) says it all the time.

DH says it all the time. Hate it.

I hate it, and its opposite "it's all good"
