Why do people say "my bad"?

[Barbarossa]

Hello, I'm a n00b, can someone explain to me the origin of the phrase "my bad", and why do people say it?

They seem to say it when they've made a mistake.

I don't get it. :(


If this is stupid and obvious, then... umm... my bad, I guess :dabs:

I typed "my bad" into Wikipedia and it took me to an article about TMNT. So now I'm downloading some TMNT because that show rocked.

Bullshit.

Northam can't even play; Wilson would have to run into the stands to find him.

just annoy them, and say it more often. You will probably experience a psychic release... and it will be good for testing those "other" people's patience :)
