I remember "my bad" becoming a thing after the movie Clueless. Which came out in '95.

And I remember, because my mother used to drive me insane saying that phrase ad nauseam after she watched the movie. (My mother is basically Carmy's mom from The Bear, hence my utter annoyance.)

"My bad" started gaining traction in the mid-late 80s.

We will be relying on AI to decipher if something is AI or not.

I wonder if the end result will be a bunch of people basically having had enough and walking away from technology.

It's pretty funny that someone has put that much effort into finding the origin of the phrase. Nevertheless, I'll stand by my post. No one in fictitious Hawkins Indiana was saying it in 1987.

Those kids were definitely not saying it, but if you were into basketball it was around in the late 80s.

Yeah, I definitely don't think most kids in the '80s were following Manute Bol that closely. I knew who he was, being a huge Spurs fan (and NBA in general) growing up, but no way was I in tune with him enough to attribute "my bad" to him.

Speak for yourelf. I was following the rivalry betwen him and Mark Eaton very closely at the time at the age of 8 while watching Jon Koncak look at both with jealosy despite bagging one million a year.

I said "most kids". You were obviously a weirdo.
