    Default "My bad" - do you?

    Yeah, yeah, I know I am of a bit older demographic but the "my bad" phrase is really quite annoying to me.

    Either just apologize or don't, no need for a flippant 'my bad'. Especially annoying if those words cone out of any service/sales person's mouth.

    First encountered this with a guy who transferred into my high school back in the 90's. Thought it sounded really weird then, and still think it sounds weird now.

    Doesn't offend me though, it's just as flippant as most people's apologies.

    I've used it. But generally as sarcasm. For when someone is expecting an apology but didn't need one. So probably fitting for how it was said to speedog

    That “right” thing caught me off guard a few times like 6-7 years ago. It’s got to stop, but I don’t see that anytime soon as it allows instant confirmations of feelings and enthusiasm. It’s quite a millennial thing.

    Instead of “Yes, you’re quite right”, it become “RIGHT?!”

    It's a truncation of "I know, right?"

    But sounds retarded either way.

    "My bad" is definitely an Americanism that has somewhat invaded Canada. It would be like if "y'all" invaded Canada.

    Doesn't bother me. One word that does bother me that hasn't migrated yet is 'hella'.

    What about “hype” lol.

    That’s pretty hype, man.

    I use it, only to try not to adapt the stereotypical "Sorry" that's used in Can'tada. I do tend to use "Right!" a lot though, but it is like the North American version of "Genau" (pronounced Ge-Now), which is a very traditional Swiss word, and used very often (roughly means "Exactly!").

    I'm definitely guilty of using it occasionally, but not as an actual apology, usually as a joke or in a sarcastic way.
