Subject: Re: "my bad"



The expression "my bad" left the basketball court and entered the mainstream

with the movie "Clueless" of a few years ago. It has become a teenage

cult movie, and my students can recite whole sections of the screenplay,

including expressions like "my bad", "whatEVER" and others. These are

the kids who have never seen a basketball game, if you can imagine that.
