"My Bag" is the original form of today's "My Bad." They both mean “my mistake, my fault, my apologies." I'm writing this in 2023. I think "my bad" is still being used. Who knows how long it will be popular. The term “my bad” is a 1980s mispronunciation of the term "my bag" circa 1930 to 1995.
“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, it 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 Catholic school in the 70s, the term “my bag” 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 A Bagmug. A shameful, but often common characteristic of an amphetamine user, particularly methyl.
When one attributes "bag loyalty" commonly referred to as "loyal to the bag" they will truly devote themselves to the substances of their addiction within the commonly used ziplock bag.
Often when asserting ones loyalty to the bag, as a pass on hierarchy effect the fiend will naturally be loyal to the holder of said bag with hopes of getting closer to the bag, maybe even getting in the "bag zone"
One must remember that the loyalty is tied to the substance, not the holder of the bag, if it were to change hands due to say a "stand over" even though the previous holder of the bag was victim to these injustices if they did not not act quick and replace said bag then there is a very high risk of your bag toting loyalty expiring that very second and shortly thereafter reactivating on the Gronk that just stole your bag.
