I have never heard this saying up until 4 months ago and now it is all I hear youngsters say. Is this a saying from a film or song. I know what context it is used in just don't know where it came from
My bad! Where from

Another 'yankification'. Along with Gaming <a club or set of clubs> and a few other peculiar expressions.

Not so sure it is from the USA. I have not heard it used there.
Whatever, it is a silly saying. Whats wrong with "My Mistake"

You mix in far too polite company!
I first saw it on/in BSG and WRX forums over 10 years ago.

Goes back to at least to the 80's... Was part of the vernacular of skateboarding/BMXing when my lads were into it... Not sure if that's where it started though... Mea culpa!

The Urban dictionary always has the answers......
term currently used when a mistake is made on your part. Allegedly originating from an unamed African Basketball Player in the 1980's (who spoke very poor english)who said it after missing a free throw. Several Sportscasters heard the phrase and used it as a joke until it became a part of popular culture.

Deffo from the states buddy. Heard it a lot on an Oregon trip 15 years ago, its on just about every US kids prog as well.
Don't mind 'gaming' or trunk, sidewalk, John, etc in fact many Americanisms or word changes we use here emanate from the states i.e remember the nice lady in personnel? She's now a Business Human Resource Manager.

"Human resource" is a phrase I find VERY offensive...
Why?

You think that's bad? I am referred between the agency I work for and the Oil company as a 'purchase order' (however they do this entirely between themselves until they foolishly cc me by mistake). Mind you, for the money they can call whatever they bloody want

I think you know the answer to that. Although, I have known a number who were liabilities.
