The term “my bad” is a popular 1980s mispronunciation of the term my bag circa 1930 to 1995. My bag means “my mistake, my fault, my apologies”.
“My bag” was a term used when playing a game of spades. In the game, you would have to for-tell how many "books" or hands you would take. If you went over that number it was called a "bag". If you were playing with a partner it was a courtesy to claim your mistake by saying "My Bag".
Spades originated in the Midwestern United States in the late 1930s. It was said to have been invented by college students who enjoyed both Whist and Bridge. They were looking for a fast-paced game that was competitive and strategic. The game slowly spread to other college campuses but it didn't really take off until WWII brought so much of America's youth into the military. Because the game was portable, could be played by small groups, and could often be played in less than twenty minutes, its popularity mushroomed. You can still find the game online.
“My Bag” meaning “My Mistake” should not be confused with “Not My Bag.” meaning “Not My Thing.” or “What's Your Bag?” meaning “What's Your Problem?”
When I was in high-school in the 70s “my bag” meaning “my fault” was very common. Even though “my bad” is said to have come out in the 80s I had never heard it until sometime around 2008 or so.

Get the My Pretzelmug. Someone who you can always go to for both comfort and advice. You can tell them anything and you can always trust that they will give their honest opinion without judgement, but with care. They have a healing presence surrounding them, and they will always welcome you with open arms. They may be shy and reserved when you first meet them, but once that barrier melts away with time they will become a home for you. Don't ever let go of your teal.
Person 1: You seem to be doing a lot better these days. I know that you've had a lot on your plate for a while now, what kept you from losing it?
Person 2: Well, you can thank Kit for everything really. Meeting them changed my life, they were there for me at my lowest and helped me get back on my feet. I don't know where I'd be without them.
Person 1: Wow, they seem to be really special to you!
Person 2: Of course! They're my teal, and I won't trade that for anything.
