A newish phrase that simply MUST GO!

[Psurfer]

"My bad". This dumb phrase is a different thing, and I do think it should go. I agree w/Drew; people often use it to defuse and trivialize the guilt of their poor behavior, so they can get away w/anything.

[Man is caught in utterly evil social act, Accuser points finger]
Accuser: That was awful. You're a sick individual!
Man: My bad...

My bad...

What it really means is "I might have screwed up, but I'm not going to take any responsibility."
Strange take on that. When I hear it used it's by someone admitting they screwed up and taking responsibility.
