I have been noticing people lately saying "my bad" and I keep waiting for them to finish the sentence! Been wracking my brain as to how this slipped into our vocab. and then extrapolated that maybe it was an acronym for "bad ass decision". Anyone know this one?
Not sure either, but I initially found "my bad" being used on US forums and it seemed to be in the general context of "my mistake - or my fault" ...

It's been around a while now. Means that the person saying it was wrong / made a mistake.I don't know, but I've always assumed it was short for "my bad luck".
Whatever, just another sad degradation of the language.

Too right Scub ,
the last month has given the old snowboarder saying " catching some air " a whole new definition . hey but .
" fooness to the austerity of it all " , something for the 21st century ........
in the days when ..... it just meant " check a dollar ".
that's the same as the 80's " KaaaChing " .
