Answer 1

Affect me? It makes me want to pull off my own head! Yes, it’s time for a new way to express “please-pardon-my-error” (especially since I've used "My Bad" so many times in sports). So I alternate using these expressions, one for each day of the week (I rest on the seventh day):

my malfunction
headless in the house!
dum’ alum
Oops I poops
I ill
clap for clod

Answer 2

Sorry Guiness, we white wannabes have been using it since at least the mid-'90s. By the time I moved to the states in '93, all the suburban white wannabes I went to school with were using it in full force. The phrase hasn't had "street cred" for some time now.

In any event, since I still say it, it's acceptance into the world at large only serves to make my speech less marked as the dialect of a slacker, so I'd say its current status as "trite" has a positive effect for me (or at least, for the way people percieve me).

Answer 4

"My bad" has been around since the early Nineties. I remember my friends saying that when we would play volleyball, and I haven't played that in years. I even remember where we were, at Bradford Place Apartments. It had to be about 1993 or 4 because my sister lived there during that time.


It does't affect me at all and it doesn't effect me either, "effect" meaning to bring about a change used as a verb here.

Answer 5

It's been in use as a substitute for "sorry, my mistake" for a long, long time, as in at least 10 years. I too, live in a bastion of white middle class America. Here's a sample of how I hear it used.

"So, are you the one I see about getting a book ordered from outside the library system?"

"No, you see the librarians for that."

"Sorry, my bad. I will talk to them after we are done here."

That's from clear back before I stopped working at the library, which was in December of 2000.

It doesn't have any effect on me either way, especially since it has always been used for tremendously mild problems. It is a cousin to one I learned from my husband, and which is used in more serious situations, "personal foul." That one is used like this:

"So you didn't say I was a b****? Okay, sorry, personal foul on my part. I am sorry I got angry with you."

"Personal foul" is a little more serious in that it involves taking complete responsibility for bad actions or words of your own. "My bad" usually, at least where I live, is used in situations where someone did not have all the information, and simply made an assumption of some sort. "Personal foul" is generally accompanied by an apology, where "my bad" is not.

Realistically, since I haven't ever had the experience of someone trying to pawn off some major bad behavior with a simple "my bad", it doesn't bother me. If someone hit my dog, and killed her, and tried the "my bad" line on me, and left it at that, they would get decked and flattened. They'd only get a "my bad" and no apology in return. The police, however, when they arrived, would find me laying down the baseball bat and calling a "personal foul", followed by an explanation and apology for disturbing the peace.

Answer 6

Where have you been since the 90s???

The expression doesn't affect me. People talk the way they talk.

EDIT:
It was a term that became popularized due to the movie Clueless (a primarily white movie), which came out during the 90s.

I never implied that suddenly trite means long term. I was saying the word has been around for a long time. It's not "suddenly trite", it's been trite for a long time now!

Answer 7

I don't know, I've never really given it THAT much thought. I guess it's just an informal way of saying "I'm sorry"?? It's also an acknowledgment that it was YOUR fault, so, I don't mind it.

Answer 8

Suddenly trite? Hmmm...That doesn't work for me.

Lets substitute the meaning of the word:

Suddenly worn out -- Nope, its been worn out.

Answer 9

It isn't an expression I have heard of in this little corner of the world.

Answer 10

It's an easy way to get out of saying yer sorry...
