To absolutely hate the expression 'my bad'

[Claybury]

Keep hearing it more and more. Where did it come from and is it not really 'my mistake'!?
I hate it , feel angry even just writing this. It's horrible.
AIBU ?

muffins, isn't it still slang, though? In press conferences, White House spokespeople don't say it.

Oh yes, a friend of mine has started referring to things as 'cray cray'. I give her stern look.

small voice I really like it! But only in the right context

It sort of allows an apology to be made for something minor in a way that's not grovelling, and that lets things move on really quickly.

It's not appropriate for big stuff, though!

I've heard it a few times recently, it is just so lacking in sincerity. My bad = but I'm so cute you'll forgive me

Oh god, yes to 'cray cray'

And DD has started up with 'swear down'

Basically, every other word that comes out of her mouth makes me want to poke her in the eye . 5 minutes on her Facebook page makes me want to stab my own eyes out

I've never heard 'swear down' before. With the risk of sounding like a primary school teacher how would you use that phrase in a sentence?

What on earth does "cray cray" mean?

I hate "my bad" as well. Your bad what? It makes no sense. Is it short for something? DH says it just to annoy me.

'cray cray' means 'crazy'.

I absolutely hate it. Along with "smashed it" and "nailed it" and all those other Americanisms. And I'm half American!

Swear down means I promise as far as I can make out.

As in "I'm never going to speak to her again, swear down"

I haven't heard of "the ask" but I was once told by my boss that something I requested was "a big ask" and I slightly misheard him, resulting in this face

I LOATHE IT!

I hate 'I'm good' instead of 'I'm well' and 'You did good' for 'You did well' etc you illiterate fuckers.

Don't mind 'epic' or 'legend' but am heartily sick of anything that's a bit good being described as 'extraordinary'.

I was walking through Dalston last year when a hipster with a beard said 'my bad' to me when we did one of those little pavement dances where you don't know whether to move to the left or right to let someone past. I wanted to run after him and get him to clarify whether he was genuinely sorry or being ironic, I couldn't quite believe I'd heard someone say it for real! (And especially someone conforming so dramatically to stereotype!)

I hate 'touch base' as in "Let's touch base on that next week".

DH works for an American firm so he comes out with some corkers. He talks about "reaching out" to people rather than emailing them/ringing them/giving them a shout/getting in touch, like normal people do.

I've never heard it, but I'm quite prepared to hate it.

I don't mind American's using it but "awesome" in an English accent really boils my piss..It just doesn't work!

My bad is just the modern version of mea culpa surely? I will reserve my fury for the business jargon that seems to infiltrate everywhere.
"Oh I sourced the best avocados the other day" No, you bloody found avocados in Sainsburys and bought them - you did NOT source them

"I'm never going to speak to her again, swear down"

Thanks Stinkle, can absolutely imagine a 14 year old stating that!

Not sure if this belongs here as well (because it's written not spoken) but I hate it when people sign off emails with "Best".

"My bad" is not a new thing though, I remember it being used a lot on Buffy 15/20 years ago

'reaching out' is so stupid.

I say 'awesome' a fair bit. In my defence I like to think I use it knowingly.

I'm sooooo with OnlyLovers there. I truly hate "I'm good" with a passion too. .......You see what I did there?

I think it was in Clueless too Frankel. (I may have watched it on Netflix the other night )

YANBU. My nearly 40 year old DSS says it. Mind you she also thinks her DS' teen friends fancy her because she plays Radio 1 in the car.
