If not, what's worse? It's just so stupid..."bad" is an adjective, not a noun

I agree, so much I can't even tell you. When someone says "my bad" it makes me want to reply, "your bad what?"

No, there are worse phrases... My bad is just another way to apologize. Unneeded words, however, are dumber. For instance:
"like" is a single word: People can, like, stop, like, saying it between, like, every, like, other word, and stuff. Like, UGH! It's, like, so friggin' annoying.
"Right" is the same way, but less used: So, I'm talking to people, right? And they won't stop talking like this, right? And I don't know how to answer, right? I mean, How am I supposed to know whether they're right or not? Right? I mean, dude, I wasn't there.
"I mean" is the same way. See above.
And there are many, many more that people don't seem to know they're using. As far as "stand-alone phrases" go, the dumbest one I heard is "chill out" or "cool it". To me, that seems like a weird way to tell somebody to calm down...
of course, "shut up" isn't too brilliant either. I mean, there are lots of better ways to make people be quiet..."Can it" isn't one of them, however...

I have to disagree. "my bad" is just a slang apology - okay, horrible grammar.
I personally dislike the words/expressions
'like' it is so vague - do you mean similar to what you are calling something but it is not that exactly, or do you really mean exactly what you are calling it? To add insult to injury, 'like' is usually followed with 'totally'.
'tubular' it's shaped like a tube? I will never forgive Solute Your Shorts for promoting that phrase.
'cool' since when has the value of most objects been based heavily on temperature? and I myself am guilty as charged for using that slang.

I think their actually using it as a verb. It took me the longest time to understand that. Ok maybe it is a noun. I don't know but yes it's stupid.

alright, in the beginning it truly is not "seize-up" it truly is "ketchup"... And secondly, each and every time all of us initiates a verbal substitute with you, it truly is significant which you often be sure you're saying "You talkin' to me? Are You talkin' to Me?" it truly is seen very disrespectful in case you do no longer.

I have bigger fish to fry, than to worry about an outdated phrase.
RAYK469 - you are too old to get so worked up about something so trivial. I've seen some of your answers and you clearly have some issues to work out. That old, relic from the segregated south logic is "played out"!

lol I like it. It is simple and honest. Like a phrase everyone understands. To have the ability to admit one is at fault in any compassity is awesome I think.
What is worse? Hmmm. I hate you. Thats worse.

I think it is. I am accustom to slangs having a meaning that is a short cut to saying what you have to say. And this one to me is not in relation to what it is suppose to mean, meaning a mistake?
I don't like it and I am tired of hearing it!

I'd get into trouble with the answer staff if I turned loose on this one. Suffice it to say I agree with you completely.

I really don't care for phrase...
That said, it takes strength of character for one to admit that they are wrong and, for me, that thought allows the sentiment to of this phrase to resonate louder than the phrase itself...
