- _pius 17y agoI'm from the United States and I'd never heard of it in my life until this morning. :)
- CalmQuiet 17y agoAs an American with French heritage, I sometimes long for some of the fluid eloquence that French expressions provide. Alas, we are mostly left to use Americanism's like, "My bad."
- gojomo 17y ago'My bad' may have come to the US via basketball player Manute Bol, from the Sudan, whose native language is Dinka. (Though, 'my bad' could mainly be an artifact of broken English.)
