no one I know who uses it uses it insincerely. Remember that Urban dictionary documents origin and likely at-the-time feelings towards a word. My bad may be a teensy bit flippant, but I've seldom heard it used as a remorseless response.

The first time I ever heard "my bad" was on this board in a post by Sabin. But that was back in 1999 or 2000.

I also heard ''my bad'' for the first time on this board and I thought the person was making a genuine grammatical mistake as I assumed english was not his first language.

And I am hardly a ''square'' Oscar Guy but this phrase just doesn't sound right. It's like that jive talk rappers use in their songs.

Professor Higgins would shoot on sight anybody who uses this phrase.

This was the first place I'd encountered the expression as well, and the only place I've ever used it. I thought it was short for "sorry for my bad mistake", but the urban dictionary explanation makes it sound as if it is not only bad grammar, but insincere as well.

Accordingly, I shan't use it any more unless I mean to be sarcastic in my response.

Good thing he's dead then.

Wow. I can't believe I misremembered that...maybe it was that there was talk surrounding them getting nominations that I've confused. It did end up with a Makeup nod and was nominated at the Art Directors Guild.

The Fall is by Tarsem Singh who also did The Cell, which was a surprise inclusion in Art Direction and Costume Design several years ago.

Not at the Oscars.

The Fall is by Tarsem Singh who also did The Cell, which was a surprise inclusion in Art Direction and Costume Design several years ago. This year, the film is already in my predictions list as potential upsets. So, no surprises this year.

The Fall 8/10

Wonderful cinematography, art direction, costume design, make up and music score. This film could be a dark horse in every one of these categories at the Oscars. The little girl gave one of the best performances by a child actress i have ever seen.

Slumdog Millionaire 9/10
Felt genuinely moved by this. It was not what I was expecting - right from the first scenes.

Frost/Nixon 7/10
Been a long time since I actually watched, let alone liked, a Ron Howard film. Not really a talented director, but the film worked and moved well.

Don't be a "square", Reza. This is the "happenin'" thing these days.

Seriously, though, I am literate and "my bad" doesn't bother me in the least and some of those statements are very old connotations that no longer apply. "my bad" has moved far away from the gangsta/wannabe vernacular and has entered common usage.

[Reza]

I'm going to say that this is my bad

I've heard a number of folks use the term......''this is my bad''.....on this Board.

What does it mean?

my bad

Thanks Flipp. The site also had this to say about it:

A grammatically incorrect way of acknowledging (facetiously) a wrongdoing.

Used very commonly by gangsta-wannabes and other sorts of conforming posers, the terrible grammar tends to drive literate people up the wall in absolute irritation.

Incredibly annoying phrase which people use when they do something stupid or wrong

Palermo Shooting 3/10

Sorry, Wim. You probably should have just made a short with Dennis Hopper (not that he's particularly good, but his character is at least an interesting and memorable idea.)

Wall Street 5/10

[FilmFan720]

Funny, I went to see it with my sister because she had a friend in it. I wouldn't have checked it out otherwise.

It is not a completely polished piece (though it was moreso than I was expecting), but it definitely has a strong voice and keeps your attention throughout. Sometimes, that is all you can ask for. Plus, the music ain't half bad.
