My bad
A way of admitting a mistake, and apologizing for that mistake, without actually apologizing. The best definition I ever read of this, now paraphrased:"
I did something bad, and I recognize that I did something bad, but there is nothing that can be done for it now, and there is technically no reason to apologize for that error, so let's just assume that I won't do it again, get over it, and move on with our lives."
Ruder than apologizing, but with the same meaning: a
flippant apology.

This phrase actually came from
bad spelling and the internet. Lazy spellers who couldn't be bothered with an
apostrophe said:
"your bad" instead of "
you're bad", the latter being correct (a contraction for YOU ARE BAD), but the former being more common.
The proper response to "your bad" is OH, it's MY BAD? The "bad" being possessive.

(n.) A combination of an
apology and a dismissal. Basically, saying "oh yeah,
I did that, but I don't care".
Persons of an older generation can find this quite annoying to hear when
expecting an actual apology.
