We HAVE to stomp this out!

The locals have started to use "Me bad!" instead of saying "My mistake!"

I don't know which of you started this, but I want it stopped immediately!

How annoying! Haven't heard that over here in MO yet....
--------------------------------------------
it sounds like baby-talk gone bad!

Any relation to Bubba on Sirius 101 who says, "I did it me self"?
-----------------
that, at least, communicates the intended idea

I think it is around in MO . I am certain I have heard Webpirate mutter it in the past. which is odd, because as a rule he never admits to being wrong.

he doesn't happen to be a waitress does he?

"You're charged us for five dinners, there are only four of us."
"Me bad."

I'm pretty anti-social, so I haven't heard that saying be used. I remember "My bad" when I was younger. But "Me bad?"

Sounds like something Elmo might say.
---------------------------------
they are probably related, it has just takend that long (like most fads) to reach here!!!!

'My bad' is a sports expression that also means 'my mistake' -- it started with inner-city kids playing basketball and was pick up for a time by professional athletes, then used in the movie Clueless (circa 1995) -- I have not heard it in professional sports for a long time -- I thought about a possible connection but "Me bad" sounds to me more like it comes from babytalk

Jim, no LOL.
Come to think of it though seeing phoenixs comment on "my Bad" perhaps it was that he said. As I said he doesnt admit to being wrong and it was that long ago I forget.
All these "American" phrases I have trouble keeping up with them !
-----------------------------------
I still think it's baby-talk -- Phoenix is never wrong, he blames his little green friends for everything
