That phrase has been around since the 70's.

Almost as bad as "Heads up" which seems to be infiltrating the forum at a disturbing rate. As if I don't get enough of it from the wannabe yanks at work 😥

Urban: Ruder than apologizing, but with the same meaning: a flippant apology

IMO, the idiom has a nice subtlety and so is a welcome addition to the vernacular.

just as a little heads up, this looks like my bad, lets take it offline.

I love words and phrases like this. Its a handy way for individuals to announce to the world that they're a complete ****-wit, and not worth entering into conversation with.

When I'm running the planet, you will be able to announce that you've registered this by slapping whoever just uttered it with a wet fish.

Oh gawd. People grown old before their time complaining about something modern.

YET AGAIN.

Tedium tedium tedium.

Let's socialize this at a more convenient time. Maybe reach out to the person to discuss and personalize the solution.

It's "[i]modern[/i]" to want to be American?

You're getting confused with 'modern' and 'stupid' again wopster. Stupidity is timeless 😉

What does "my bad" mean and when is it used?

I quite like "my bad" - it's a pretty succinct but not grovelly way of confessing you've f****d-up. Why the horror? What classic English saying sums up the expression so well?

It means 'I made a mistake'.
Used as an apology by people who lack the grace or manners to say 'I'm sorry'.

Also used by people who think if they talk like an American they will eventually become one.

It's easier to say 'my bad' than 'sorry, that was my fault'

[quote=kimbers ]languages change and evolve with time, deal with it

+1 I'm sure that the generation before most on here complained about the way that they used the language too.

Is that a bit like caucasian youngsters who talk like Fitty Cent, commonly known as "whiggers" because they aspire to be ****s. Sorry, "Niggaz"?

So, you were just shouting bad words in the playground then?
Classy.

Shame, it's a good point.

Was I? At least it gives you an opportunity to vent your boring, disguised tendency to racism.

At school in the '70s it was fashionable to talk like a cockney gangster. In retrospect a bunch of Welsh schoolboys all trying to sound like Michael Caine in Get Carter must have been pretty funny.

I thought this was Engrish, derived from a similar source to 'all our base are now belong to us'

How do I have a tendancy to racism?
Specifics would be nice.

And shall we continue this back on the other thread?

If it is, as some tedious weirdos [i]always[/i] say, the "evolution of language" (ha!), that doesn't mean it's not used by people COPYING AMERICANS. And it doesn't mean it's not bloody annoying.
