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 ?

Ooh - I thought of another one. "My best" instead of 'My favourite". Bloody Charlie and Lola!

I don't hate it but do hate 'it's all gravy'

I really hate 'my bad'. It always makes me think the person is a little bit stupid I'm afraid.

I like it; I use it. I think it is colorful and apt, like a lot of other slang that has an African American origin.

What does "I cut you, blud" mean?
What does "it's all gravy" mean?
I need a new dictionary.

My understanding of the gravy one is that it means "it's all good," but the use I am most familiar with is in the sense of extra luxuries. Life is the meat and potatoes; gravy is a luxury.

"Rocking up." I can't even bear to use it in a sentence I hate it so much.

I'm beginning to think that some of you on this thread would have been happy if the English language had ossified for all time somewhere in the Victorian era.

Shakespeare used my bad in a close approximation of the way it's used now...it didn't enter general language, but the point is that not all neologisms are new and not all such language constructions are from an ignorant mind. That's all I'm saying!

Sonnet 112:

"Your love and pity doth the impression fill
Which vulgar scandal stamp'd upon my brow;
For what care I who calls me well or ill,
So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow?"

The one I hate is "my take" for my version. Aaaargh!

That damn Shakespeare, going round making up language all over the place.

"My bad" is senseless, I agree OP.

Also annoying:
"Bike for sale. Pm me for the price"
PM you? Why don't you just advertise normally? You started the advert so why not finish it properly and stop trying to keep us all in suspense!

Or "my bestie" to describe a close friend

Oh, and "simples"

I bloody hate 'going forward', and 'connect with you'. Give me a fucking break!

Oh, also 'reach out' to you/the client/ whoever, drives me mad!!

And don't even get me started on the word 'littlest'. I HATE that.

I'm sure its not even proper English, 'oh, the littlest cup cake'...arghhh!

I don't mind it, but I hate most of the other Americanisms on this thread. I do think American English is evolving into a different language.

But none of these words do I hate as much as "gotten". Its made worse by the fact that most users will defend it by saying that its traditional English preserved in American. Except that they use it out of grammatical context - its a past participle which has died out in modern English, but using it at random as a simple past participle ("I've gotten myself a new car") is just wrong. If you want to use correct archaic grammar that much, say "begotten" and use it at the end of the sentence...

Don't get me started on the pronunciation of "urbs" (herbs), "pusta" (pasta) and tomatoes. For some reason, this causes me great irritation.

YANBU. A junior doctor once said this to me at work after he made a mistake. It sounded so juvenile and unprofessional I was

A five year old told me off for saying "you guys". I like Americanisms but 'my bad' grinds my gears.

"long story short"

AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!

PLease don't start on pronunciation-

"medsin" medicine
"biks" - books.

All too posh and twee.

But then I am Scottish- and we squeeze the juice out of every consonant!

Oh I hate 'rocking up' as well, people always seem like they think they're so cool when they say it, but they're not.

"My bad" is terrible, and "gifted". These aren't so Americanised (to my knowledge), but I really dislike "text" for "texted", something that appears a lot on MN. I'm prepared to accept language evolving and whatever, for "text" to become a verb, but I think it's lazy to not at least make it a proper past participle.

Perhaps a petty one: "pre-book". I keep hearing this one, everyone is always pre-booking stuff. Surely it's just a bit redundant, since booking something can only be done in advance of the event anyway? You're not pre-booking tickets for the Anne Frank house, you're just booking them.

I dont know which subset of Americans thought up, 'my bad', but I hated it there first, and now hate it here. It is never sincere.

I rant when I hear stupid baseball (and American football) references being used by British news reporters and the like. WHY? Why, why? Do they do this? admittedly, I have yet to hear them used wrongly, but that may make it worse as they have become common enough they expect people to know what they mean who dont even know the origin.

Can't believe you have never heard them on the Tv, mmmmuffin!

not read the whole thread but definitely agree with you, YANBU, someone at work uses "My Bad" at least once a day, I want to punch him, he has many other phrases and sayings that annoy me but my bad is the worst.

I dont know which subset of Americans thought up, 'my bad'

That would be the African American subset, Momagain.

Oh, and now I have bingo with the old "gotten" non-issue. What about forgotten?
