Actually I hate the term 'my bad'. I know it came from some movie. To me
it says "Yeah, I made a mistake, so what?... and is designed to rid oneself
of any perceived guilt they may feel over their own inadequacy, inaccuracy,
or plain old screw up. At work, it comes across as dismissive of other
persons feelings.
It's a very liberal phrase to spout. :)
I'm pulling your leg on most of this rhetoric, though the phrase does bug
me, especially when I consider who says it in the work place.
OK... very seriously, my post is not meant to offend in the least. :) I'm
serious and I really mean it. Don't read anything into these words that I
haven't actually typed. I'm serious, OK? :)
