to wince every time someone says "my bad"?

[MardyBra]

WTF does it mean?

It just elicits the response "My bad what"?

That includes you Dermot on the X Factor last night.

YANBU! It just doesn't make sense.

you are old and uncool, invisible and you dont matter

YANBU!!!! I fucking hate it!! American shite!!

it just means 'my mistake'

Oh me too. Especially as people always say it in a slightly smug way. 'Sorry, I got that wrong' would be much preferable in all cases.

Yanbu and whilst we're at it where did 'back in the day' come from cos I keep hearing that all over the place too?

"you are old and uncool, invisible and you dont matter".

Yep, got it in one.

I was complaining yesterday about Adele's new Skyfall song and how she can't hit the notes bang on (instead she swoops up from underneath). DD said I was uncool and that's how modern singers sing these days. No. That's how lazy singers sing - and have done for decades.

Ugh.

Tis horrid.

And rediculous.

I've just spotted the word gotten somewhere. Is that even a word?

And I hope the "off of" I saw earlier was ironjc.

YANBU. It's an awful phrase plus it has NO meaning

It's a bit like when people say it's well sick.......what?? is it good then, is it bad? I have no bloody idea

YABU to cringe. The correct response is to stab them.

My husband said that the other day
It just sounds ridiculous!

Ah Chaos. Gotten was British English originally, and the Americans kept it, while we dropped it. And now it's being reintroduced.

or wince even

i gotten it off of MN, back in the day before we had the 'net, no-one talked like that, but it's hit me big time

my bad

like that you mean?

Wince/cringe/roll up in the foetal position and sob. All interchangeable Trebles

Whoops, my bad!

Yes, but gotten isn't being 'reintroduced' as a means of reclaiming one of our own, it's being adopted by all the kids who watch too much American TV.

YANBU

I agree Folk.

YANBU!

YABU

I like slang. I never use it myself but I like it when ds1 uses it. Once he stops ill know he's grown up.

Isn't it a translation of a phrase in Spanish that means 'it's my fault' - or something? (disclaimer: I know no Spanish )

I like it, but then I like watching Dexter where I first heard it.
