Lately I've heard this phrase being employed by people whom I had previously thought had sufficient command of language to at least put together a simple sentence of apology rather than speak like a four year old.
My Bad
"My bad" the handsome woman said
business heeled executive coiffed
error acknowledged forgiveness asked
A zero sum no fault implied
her choice of phrase condemned her though
to adolescent or prepubescent mind
diminishing the fault and assuming zero
import to those she addressed in kind
how adult instead to express contrition
"my apologies to all for I have errored
may I move on with your permission"
Her dignity intact her integrity restored
