Do You Ever Say 'My Bad'?

[Rudy53420]

I say it sometimes, but I usually just say 'I'm sorry.'

I do, but only in texts or emails....

This isn't some new expression, and I am surprised to hear that younger people use it. I had friends in school whose parents said it, and they learned it, too. This was 30+ years ago. I always considered it a regionalism, much like calling a drinking fountain a bubbler, and most regional expressions are not "proper English".

 

[sdkitty]

no and I also don't call females "dude"
If younger people want to do this, it's OK with me but I heard a mature woman calling a girl "dude" recently and she seemed ridiculous to me

 

[MarneeB]

No, never said it. I think it sounds silly.

 

[sadiesthegirl]

No, never. My husband used to say it a few years ago every once in a while.

 

[Bagbug]

Nerer have and never will.

 

[johnstephen1]

Not so far.

 

[jaclyn86]

Yes.If I am trying to annoy my husband I will say all kinds of things!

 

[iseebearbears]

nope. I'd rather say oops

 

[springbaby]

Yes

 

[alberkhav]

No. It never sounded right to me. I've said it as a joke because coming out of me it sounds ridiculous.

 

[nomnomnomonstar]

Yes I say it. Never thought much about it..

 

[rabbits]

I do! It hadn't occurred to me that it is also a literal translation from the chinese phase 'my fault!' - but you're absolutely right. Its quite funny!

 

[*schmoo*]

I say oops a lot

 

[anthrosphere]

Nope. Because I can't tell if they're apologizing or what? Either way it sounds stupid. What's wrong with saying, "sorry"?
