But this thread is going way over the top. Also "My Bad" is under the definition and uses of the word "Bad" in the dictionary.

So are ****, ****, ****, *** and **** and all these words are censored. Slang may appear in some dictionaries but it still does not make it acceptable.

Like you say above, this is an informal forum and phrases such as "my bad" are informal English. The phrase "my bad" isn't on the censor list and it's not "text speak". I am not a big fan of such phrases but I really can't see why people are getting so upset about it.
Or to put it simpler, get over it and move on. Life is too short.

The phrase is one of my pet hates and I reserve the right to continue my stand against it until warned off by the mods.
If you do a search for the phrase in this forum you will see that my stand has been going on for a number of years now.  | |

I posted this a few years ago, I found it on the internet somewhere
"Ok, I've had it. Listen up kiddies. The only appropriate use of the word "bad" as a noun is in the case of "You have to take the bad with the good." You cannot use a possessive when using the word "bad" as a noun. You CANNOT say "my bad" as in "Sorry, that's my bad!"--this is not a grammatically correct statement.
You cannot own a bad, it's not a dog, it's not a thing to possess. You cannot wash and style your bad. You cannot pack your bad to take on a trip. You cannot take your bad to the park for a walk.
It's also a pathetic way of saying "I'm sorry" without having to say "I'm sorry." Do you really think "My bad" is an acceptable response when you've cut in front of someone in line? Do you think "My bad" absolves you when you taped over your roommate's favorite show? Will you say "My bad" to your wife after cheating on her and think that makes it all better?
I don't care if you hear it EVERYWHERE now, on TV, amongst friends, even in magazines and newspapers. It's wrong. It's insincere, it's bad grammar, and it drives me INSANE. Please stop. I beg of you.
Plus it gives you genital warts. Really. Don't do it.
Thank you."
