Just had an Amazon delivery but he’d knocked on my neighbours door till I said was it for us at number ?
Oh ,Yes, My Bad, he said
Then when our neighbour answered ,’Sorry mate , My Bad

:0(((

[pixie374]

That's been around for quite some time, although haven't heard it in ages now. Just a phrase that started, and got used by some.

[pixie374]

My fault sounds better.

[Bobbisox1]

First time I’ve heard it Pixie

[Atheist]

Bobbi, I think in meaning it is similar to (and as vague as) MAGA, although the Full version of MAGA was at least grammatically correct (in old-fashioned terms). Similar stuff crops up in TV ads, although I can't think of one now - perhaps "What's your Good?" "Dream your Fresh!"

[WordyGurdy]

"Quite some time" as in at least thirty years.

Dont forget 'be more dog'- Atheist

[bobbinwales]

I dont mind Build Back Better- makes sense to me and is quite catchy.
One's I don't get are
Burger King -be your way
Someone's *Time Warner?) was Enjoy Better

I saw a school with the slogan "Find your amazing" which puzzled me and then found they'd 'borrowed' it from a travel ad

[Gromit]

I quite like ‘Build Back Better’.
It means we will come back better than before.
But When it comes from a politicians mouth I worry that it is just a soundbite rather than an intent.

[bobbinwales]

In the 2015 general election one of the party's in Norn Ireland had a slogan "Step Not Back". No idea.

[Mamyalynne]

That was the DUP.
