How did the expression "MY BAD" come into exsistence?

See. Now you did it. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight because I'm going to be thinking of this. Thanks.
 
I used to think they were saying, "My bag" LOL

Haha. Have you been drinking.

Sounds like a white way of saying my bad.

Ever see that bud commercial with the three black guys that say "Whats upppppppp"

Then they have the preppy white boys say "How Are Yuoooooooooo."


Sorry, didn't mean to step on anyones toes.
 
My bad," an exclamation meaning "my fault" or "my mistake," evidently arose in the mid-1980's among players (primarily Black) in informal "pick-up" basketball games. One player would throw a bad pass or flub an easy shot and say "My bad" as a sort of handy shorthand for a more elaborate apology. The term's transition to more general slang use was apparently greatly accelerated by its inclusion in the enormously popular film "Clueless" a few years ago.
