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!

I cringe when I hear people saying that...especially adults!

Someone said it to me today during a 3 way phone call with a Hungarian interpreter. It made me laugh but normally I hate it.

I like 'my bad'. It makes me think of Buffy.

My mum can't stand it though. Along with 'I'm good' as a response to 'how are you'.

YANBU

I have started using it since I began working with a young 'un. I like learning new slang, it makes me feel in touch. But I also know how to use apostrophes.

Doesnt bother me so much.

oh my days annoys me though.

Yanbu its stupid

YANBU!

It's stupid and irritating.

I'm not wild about 'I'm good' in response to 'how are you?', either. I'm asking about your health, not your moral compass. [pedant face]

Oh yes wildfig, I am always tempted to reply, 'No, you are full of sin.'

I don't mind so much when the under 20s say it - it's surely part of their job description to find creative new ways of destroying the Queen's English, and you have to admit it they're getting better and better at it. I do cringe when I hear the young Phoebes and Jakeys round here talking as though they're from Kingston, Jamaica rather than Kingston, Surrey, but I can live with it.

Adults, though, have no excuse. String em up.

It's very Zooey Desc Desh, that one from New Girl.
And used frequently in most other snippy, snarky cheapo, one liner American sitcoms.

I like that Zooey one though, can't help it.

Oh and you are NBU. Unfortunately I've heard it most from 30-something men who watch more T4 than is right or proper. It certainly does induce a cringe or two from me then.

I thought it was German for claiming one's bath.

Its a hell of a lot better than "do/did me a solid" as in a favor. I always think that one sounds like someone just pooped on you.

My eldest daughter says it and it makes the red mist descend

Arrrgggghhhhh I hate it. DH started saying it. Ffs he's 43 not 13!

I can tolerate it when I hear kids saying it but adults who think they're 'with it' or something by saying it can go to hell. I even cringe if I hear it in a film or TV show.

I've been, irrationally, irritated by people saying mea culpa this week

No longer. "My bad" is far worse. Yanbu.

Yanbu, it's a stupid phrase that makes no sense.

Fair do's.

WTAF. This makes my skin crawl. It doesnt even make fucking sense.

I like it in an ironic, ''i know it grates with you but it makes me laugh way'. However, there are phrases that If someone of my awuaintave used then my opinion of them would falter.

I used to think it was "my bed" which makes even less sense...

That's like well 'dope'...

I thought 'my bad' was short for my 'bad ass ....'something or other
