A term used to tell someone that you made a mistake and apologize at the same time. Originally Used Mostly by African Americans but over the years it has become a more mainstream term; so it is not uncommon any more to hear anyone else (possibly in the professional world too) say it to admit to making a mistake.

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.

I slang that white people picked up from black people but fucked it up as the original term was "My Bag". White DJ's during the 80's truggled to understand African American slang and urban hip hop culture and scambled to catch up once they saw that shit starting to make money after years of shunning it. So they tried to understand it. But being the litteral minded white devils they are, they misunderstood "My Bag" to be "My Bad" reasoning that since the term was followed by some mistake on the users part they must be saying "My Bad" and due to the fact that the media is controlled by the white devil the term became "My Bad".
