For Christ's Sake, It's "ME!!!!"

[Whispersecret]

I just have to get something off my chest.

If you want to refer to yourself like Tarzan, please USE THE RIGHT FUCKING WORD.

It is not "My bad." It's "ME BAD." It's not 'My sorry." It's "Me sorry."

"My" is the word you use when you want to show possession of something, as in my dog, my book, my failure to pass spelling.

Got it?

Good. Class dismissed. Go practice.

*practice practice practice*

My bad... ah no... *trying again* mmmmmyyy bad... *forcing the words out* - Moi bad! *fuck, that's not it... trying trying again...* --- ME BAD! Yeah... Me bad! Oh yeah!

 

[Tabby432]

You're joking. Right?

 

[DarkAngel]

Moi

 

[Angel]

Oh come on, it's a SLANG. You had them too, we don't bitch about yours.

WS. "My Bad!" - not poor grammar but common coloquialism of the American youth of today (reference 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer', 'Clueless' et al circa 1998-2001). "Bad" used as noun, as in "my mistake" or "my fault". Chaucer would have approved.

 

[Dillinger]

Seriously Angel... I don't get "my bad." I know about slang - and yes "we" (us old guys) had slang - some of which is still around. But this isn't quite the same - its not just slang like "cool" or "wicked" or whatever - its BAD GRAMMER.

I still remember walking into work some months ago and hearing someone say it for the first time - a guy in his 30's and I just looked at him like "what the fuck are you talking about." And still, whenever I hear someone say it - it just sounds stupid.

 

[Angel]

It means "My Fault" I fucked up, I did something BAD. MY BAD. I'm sure your generation's Slang didn't make any sense to your parents generation.

 

[Dillinger]

I know what it means. I just think it sounds dumb. But that's just my opinion - no big deal either way.

 

[Angel]

Well ok then, Dilly, MY BAD.

 

[DarkAngel]

My kool... My wierd... My Angel of light and Beauty.. My title not asufdyaijsdhf showing yet

 

[LordMagicMan]

My Bad

<laughs>

A slang? LOL.

I had what "them?" You mean I used a slang expression? Of course. Everyone does, silly. You misunderstood. I wasn't bitching about the use of slang. I was bitching about the spelling.

<shakes her head>

I am not of the understanding what it is that is being of the big deal kind of problem here that it is? This is for everyone the most easy understandable. Why is this a confusion for the peoples who are being here?

You cats are kinda groovey, dig?

I see. So people really mean to use "my." Hmm.

Somehow that's even worse. Now we're reduced to modifying our language to copy a TV show character's mis-use of adjectives?

Oh, Lord Magic Man, that's so hilarious. <---heavy sarcasm

Outta my way, people, I'm still, apparently, in a pissy mood.

 

[Angel]

Actually the term has been around since before Clueless and Buffy.


At least -here- it has.

No, said TV show simply reflects the common parlance, much as 'Gone With The Wind' did for a previous generation with the line: "Frankly, my dear - I don't give a damn!".

 

[*bratcat*]

yep...what Dill says!

 

[Angel]

I've just been wondering WTF "Railer" means. Anyone from California want to enlighten me?

 

[alexander tzara]

Hel-LLLOOO...

You guys are super-super nice. But I'm, like, totally buggin' about this stain on my new Tommy-Boy boxers. It's soooooo gross. It's, like, grodie. Grodie to the MAX! But, no biggie. It's my bad. Except, I'm soooo sure ALL the hotties down on Venice'll think I'm, like, totally Pee-Wee when they see it.


WS - ever read 'A Clockwork Orange'? It's ALL true.

 

[Madame Pandora]

AS IF! Rog, like NOT EVEN, you are so totally a Baldwin!
