I'm sure this must have been posted before -
The expression 'my bad' is one of the most annoying expressions ive ever come across. Why the **** has it become so widespread??? And while im in giving out mode - the six acts up for the eurovision on tele tonight are second only to the six new walkers flavours in terms of ****eness :mad:

ok. my bad.

It's another American expression that's come over here. In the mid 90's in the States was the first time I heard it and I thought it sounded extremely stupid. Then about 7 or 8 years ago I started hearing it spreading its insidious influence in Ireland too.

This phrase must be stopped and returned to its rightful origins.

Is it your Bad?

Surely not.

Your Mother's Bad perhaps?

No.

Could it be My Bad?

I don't think so.

Well then....... whose bad?

No. No. No. Not Whose Bad? Who's Bad.

I think its a perfect example of the how the human race, and its use of constructive language in particular, has rapidly degenerated into caveman-speak...
What the phrase "My bad" actually means is "Good heavens, I do apologise old chap, but from this vantage point I appear to be unmistakeably in the wrong!!! Forgive me!".....feckin cavemen...

Im off now to perform Unga-Bunga on a cavewoman somewhere

Spelling ridiculous as rediculous and using the phrase "I should OF gone....." (and its variations) is far more annoying.

Clueless is the movie that's responsible for it's appearence in main-stream language afaik.

Doctor DooM

Michael Bay deserves to rot in hell for all eternity for making the venerable voice actor, Peter Cullen, upon his return to the role which entranced so many children after 20 years as a heroic father figure, utter the words "my bad".

"I'm very sorry, that was my fault."

or

"Mea culpa."

or (depending on circumstances)

"Apologies"

or

"Oops"

or

"Please don't hit me again, I recognise that I was in the wrong, please put the big stick down."

See? There's lots of alternatives!

This phrase is worse than all. pwn is a short way to say the equally riddiculous phrase of owned.

BTW text speak, ban cherryghost.

Since when was slang ever a good use of the English (and that should be capitals - your bad) language? Or grammatically correct for that matter? Go away.

I hate it when people say "cheers" instead of thanks, and "guy" instaed of man. Even lad sounds better than guy. And where is whoever "at"? At what!?!?!?:mad:

I'm afraid I often ue the word 'cheers' instead of thanks or a combination of the two. I don't know where I picked it up because I would have never said it 5 or 6 years ago. I think I may have started using the phrase after working in shops and in a bar and having customers say it to me the whole time.

'My Bad' on the other hand, I have never used.

Mr. Presentable

OK. For the OP and other posters. Common usage is the definition of what is correct. Sadly, for me at any rate, this means "I seen", "I done", "I/he would of" (popular in the soccer forum, make of that what you will) "my bad", and the rest, will mostly become standard English and correct usage. Oh, and the written use of numerals as letters "se7en", for example. Or "sesevenen", as I embarrassingly pronounce it because I will not lower myself to acknowledge the legitimacy of the substitiution.

I'm glad someone else feels this way too. It is grammatically incorrect and it really, really annoys me. It is "I should HAVE gone". I have actually seen this in books that I have read and it irritates me to the core that someone will have the book proofed and it has gone unnoticed.

Glad to have that out of the system.

Oh God yeah seems like everyone I know says this too.....everyone I know is stupid (or is that "are stupid")

KieranKennedy

You are right, it is annoying in the extreme. Reading some of the replies on the first page of this thread it would appear that if you want a proper response to something you would be better off asking a drunk down's syndrome infant than posting here, however.

A lot of people are actually saying, "I should've gone..." Make sure they're saying the former before giving them the bitter look!


Also, shoulda woulda coulda are the last words of a fool...

badabinbadaboom

I use "My goodness" all the time, I believe this would be a fragmented sentence and not gramaticaly correct.
I hate the use of my bad, its just sounds so fecking American!!
I also hate the use of the word owned so often, its ****ing stupid.
And can we go back to saying "dig it"? I liked that phrase I really dug it.
You dig?

Latchy

Da lingo is constantly evloving ,just like we had to from shakespearean speak .

SomeDude

Another phrase that I often hear/read is "How's you". Anyone else notice it??Again, I'm not sure how this started. However, the use of phrases like this and "my bad" seem to be predominately used by young south side Dublin girls. There appears to be a correlation between these young ladies speaking in this baby like language and their own perceived sense of being hip and cool. It's bizarre.

xOxSinéadxOx

what's cba????

Latchy

How's you" is something I have come across a lot both in person and typo speak on the web but I think it just belongs to the new online vocabuarly and not a reflection of the individuals general grammer ,so to speak.

Oops... posted in wrong thread, my bad.

I just hate when people say "prolly", instead of "probably". You're not a Californian surfer, you muppet.

"My bad" is pretty annoying, though saying "you've a bad use of english thats for sure" is also incorrect. It should have been something like "You have a poor command of English, that much is certain."

/pedantic.

I meant here on boards. The level of grammar and spelling is atrocious.
Theres a big increase in people spelling even simple words phonetically that just reads shockingly bad. Then theres mixing up things like Weather and whether.


When listening to someone speak, for the most part telling shoud've and should of apart is handy enough. Especially when you know the person is a simpleton beforehand.:)
