You captured exactly the picture I get in my mind when someone says this!

It's all good.

Bad is an adjective, and it's used incorrectly. There's a perfectly good word called "fault" that should be used in that situation. Or "mistake".

YES!

Especially when used in conjunction with "...lemmie axe you a question", "gonna getz mines", or "all up in my xxxx (grill, koolaid, biznuss, etc...)"

Pretty much all "ghetto speak", is annoying.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that thinks this phrase "my bad" sounds stupid & irritating, & it comes across sounding unintelligible.

[elston]

"my bad' and "whatever" are equally annoying and for me indicators of a marked inability to express oneself or to process thoughts....they are an alternative to actual thought processing.

It's overused and childlike. I understand teenagers and slang like this. Buy why do grown adults have to copy whatever they hear other people say?

Also, saying/writing "I dunno.." is getting really overused and stupid. It needs to die along with "Sooooooo". Thanks, just needed to vent that!

That's the number one irritating expression in my book. Copying celebrities is what this country does best. It makes me sick too.

It certainly irritates me too! So much so that I have become something of a "grass roots guerilla" in the war on the incorrect use of the language of my ancestors.

In response to "my bad" I immediately ask "bad what; bad mistake, bad attitude, bad day, bad haircut, your bad what?".

I have another whole barrage of questions when someone utters my favorite piece of nonsense noise, "to die for" because that one really bothers me with it's extreme inanity.

Or a way-cool teenager working the cash register at Fed Ex/Kinkos. That's the first place I might have heard it.
