It's My Bad

[Only1scoop]

I detest this saying

I don't think IABU

Ggrrrrrr

Apparently I said the wrong thing the other day while looking out of the window, and pronouncing that it looked really dank out.

Queue loads of laughter from my offspring at my apparent misuse of the word "dank"

Dh says this and I hate it. He's nearly 40 ffs! Dds have started copying. Makes me rage. Also "so"
But I find that contagious and find myself saying.

I hate it too

Nothing, but nothing, comes close to the rage I feel when I hear the term ‘reaching out’. No you did not fucking ‘reach out’!! You approached a colleague or a client or an entity and asked them something or told them something.

Bad enough when it’s said by an American. If it’s said by anyone in the UK or on a UK based show or even on an American show but by a purportedly English or British person, it just fills me with utter, utter rage. STOP. IT.

'Don't go on too long'

Chintzy is fine though

Used to be a character in the Wishing Chair

Soz

Wrong thread

I can imagine James Cordon saying it for some reason

I keep hearing "to be fair ..." said by bloody everyone. Really bloody irritating and usually adds no relevance.

There’s no “it’s”. It’s just, “My bad”. If you’re going to trash a crappy phrase from circa 1993, at least get it right!

I feel sad that the present participle of to sit and to stand appears to have disappeared. Everyone says “I was stood in the corner” or “I was sat watching TV”.
Sounds more awkward than standing and sitting.

I can always tell when my neighbour is pissed off because her use of literally (LICHrally) dramatically increases. "I lichrally said to him you lichrally don't know what you're talking about and he lichrally turned around and went..."

Really so no 'its'

"reaching out" hahahaha Can't stand it. It sounds like feebly waggling a limb and not actually making contact.
Approach - much better.

My bad can get to fuck.

Currently torn between weeping & stabbiness at someone who has really let me down and their reply was 'mea culpa'. No. No. NO no no no no no NO. You fucking apologise. You say 'I'm really fucking sorry, totally my fault, I understand why you're upset, it was shit of me, I'll do what I can to make it up to you, but I am still very sorry.'

'Mea culpa' is not some fucking let off phrase that means you don't need to apologise for being a shitting fucking letdown to someone AGAIN. We both arsing well KNOW you've fucked me about, and 8 crappy letters showing off how intelligent you are do not improve the situation.

And BREATHE...

I can not bear the way like Is used in like every other like word, d'ys know what i mean, like I say, no one like understands me

No no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't honestly ( like ) stand it.

Utterly brainless

I’m surprised at all the Americanisms being used in the UK now. I was watching a British documentary and a police woman used the phrase ‘bad mouthing’.

Bad mouthing has been widely used in the UK for a long time I'd say. Doesn't jump out as an obvious Americanism to me.

Cindie interesting that one. It’s used a lot in the region of the uk I come from and noticed by a kiwi colleague of mine that my regional office use it but others don’t and she asked why. When I hear it, it feels like it’s being done for added effect/emphasis, can’t quite explain why? People from my region are known for being talkative and animated!

Absolutely! Since "absolutely" now means simply "yes", what do you say when you mean "absolutely"?

And on Home Front a couple of weeks back, someone said "whatever". Nobody used "whatever" stand-alone until about 20 years ago.

'Bad mouthing has been widely used in the UK for a long time I'd say. Doesn't jump out as an obvious Americanism to me.'

Doesn't feel the same at all Plume I agree

Absolutely! Since "absolutely" now means simply "yes", what do you say when you mean "absolutely"?

'Totally!'

I love this phrase!

I'm 44 and it reminds me of Buddy.
