    Hearing an English teacher ask a pupil to return a book to the front of the class. She replied that she had, the teacher then says " My Bad" :(

    The teacher used a perfectly normal and acceptable colloquialism. What a monster.
    My Bad is not acceptable, it's gibberish.

    A doris in the office that was moved to tears in her car this morning whilst listening to the radio.
    The cause of this upset? The John Lewis Christmas Ad music. I kid you not.

    Should be shot at bloody dawn.
    There is never an excuse for such moronic abuse of the Queens.
    Queen's what? And where's your apostrophe, laddy? :wink:
    Im sorry, but we must never deflect or make light of the utterly moronic term 'my bad' anyone using this and thinking its acceptable must be at the very least be kicked in the goolies. Preferably taken out so sea and downed, because if they dont understand that they are fools then they have no business breathing the same air as me.

    Better write to Cambridge University and let them know your undoubtedly qualified opinion.

    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/my-bad

    Teachers ought to encouraged to speak in terms accessible to those they are teaching instead of enforcing what the previous generation might consider to be better English (in their own opinion).
  • The utterly shite music that gets played along side the ringtone when I call some people's mobile phones.
  • Strangers striking up a conversation at the urinal

    This happened to me at the public toilets in Lincoln's Inn Fields. It is a favourite pit stop of Black cab drivers and it was evident that this guy was one (I didn't feel threatened). As I returned to my BT van this guy ran over and apologised profusely saying that he thought I was a fellow cabbie.

    Obviously a little known fact (outside the trade) that black cab drivers can speak to each other at the urinal with impunity, but not to members of the general public..

    My qualified opinion is that whoever utters such drivel sounds like a complete tool, a moron started this expression, and further morons, giving it no thought, repeated it.
    So what if Cambridge University agree, many University people have the brains of ducks, Ok they have an education but seldom does that amount to intelligence. ;o)
    Anyone who uses this phrase and the Cambridge University lot should be drowned at sea. Wait till I'm in charge, I will make it law.

    Another great london tradition ruined by uber, then.

    Makes perfect sense - let the proles speak how they like, use made up words and terrible grammar.

    All words were made up at some time. And grammar should change to reflect modern usage of English.

    Grammar is a constraint and should only be used to deliver more precise meaning.

    ‘My bad’ is not gibberish, it is a very descriptive shortform admission of guilt. The intonation can also display whether this admission is genuine or sarcastic.

    English is the primary language in the world precisely because it continues to evolve and take on new words and structures from other languages and spoken words from around the world.

    What’s more interesting to me is why ‘my bad’ is a ting blud but ‘my good’ ain’t a ting fam lol.

    You all use phrases or colloquialisms your parents would have thought was 'bad grammar' or 'gibberish'. Ever said Will do, see you soon, "alright?", cheers, or piss off? None are shining examples of the Queen's English but common phrases none the less.

    So what if I do? Most people under the age of 40 do as well.

    Is your irritation at what the younger generation say the same irritation younger people get whenever older folks says things like 'download from the google' or 'my email box is full'?

    No, my irritation is that people who use it sound like utter morons, thats all, believe me, you do. Because it makes no sense and you also sound like a 3 year old learning to speak. And also it highlight that you are sheep and have given no intelligent thought that it might be a wank thing to say.
