My Bad
The term âmy badâ is a popular 1980s mispronunciation of the term my bag circa 1930 to 1995. My bag means âmy mistake, my fault, my apologiesâ. âMy bagâ 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. âMy Bagâ meaning âMy Mistakeâ should not be confused with âNot My Bag.â meaning âNot My Thing.â or âWhat's Your Bag?â meaning âWhat's Your Problem?â When I was in high-school in the 70s âmy bagâ meaning âmy faultâ was very common. Even though âmy badâ is said to have come out in the 80s I had never heard it until sometime around 2008 or so.

Customer Reviews
Well printed, the mug's ceramic is of good quality, I'm not sure what else I can add. I am surprised it could be printed and shipped so quickly based on my earlier experience printing/kiln-firing/baking this kind of product. Well done.
Sent to a friend. He loved it!
Easy to order and customize. Very tough, solid, and well-made. Nice and hefty in the hand.
urban dictionary is my personal lifeline to the divine, thank you for selling me a $35 coffee cup that I gave to friend, bought another and gave that another friend. Likely asking, rather in need of, a six or more discount code, for six or more gifts to friends! Xoxo
