    Very kind words, I am aiming for a much more detailed site this year with some new ideas thrown into the pot. Really excited for the 2yo season as you might be able to tell!

    I last used it when I prematurely ejaculated after 3 seconds of love making with my ex girlfriend.



    -Is it too early for these sorts of jokes?

    Shakespeare used the term with something like the current meaning, in his Sonnet 112:


    Your love and pity doth the impression fill
    Which vulgar scandal stamp'd upon my brow;
    For what care I who calls me well or ill,
    So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow?

    I did some googling and it would appear to have first been used in the street basketball scene in 1980s USA. Although an ever earlier use has been found:

    I knew this was an intellectual forum - Shakespeare quotes <ok>

    (p.s. I like the one about the 3 second ejaculation <laugh>)

    The first citation in print is C. Wielgus and A. Wolff's, 'Back-in-your-face Guide to Pick-up Basketball', 1986:


    "My bad, an expression of contrition uttered after making a bad pass or missing an opponent."
