    Annoying American expressions

    1) "My bad."
    Your bad what?

    Feel free to add more....

    I've heard Britishers, Canadians and
    Australians say that. Did the expression
    originate in the U.S.?

    I've never heard anyone but Americans say it.

    Okay, here's one: "bring it, bitches" as a response to a
    threat. It seems to have replaced "bring it on".

    Jai Maharaj, Jyotishi
    Om Shanti

    What is the difference between a 69 and driving in the fog?
    When driving in the fog, you can't see the asshole in front of you.

    Sounds ok to me. Bitch is a good insult, especially if the person you're talking to is male.

    A guy bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas.
    A friend of his said, "I thought she wanted one of those sporty 4-Wheel drive vehicles."
    "She did," he replied. "But where in the hell was I gonna find a fake Jeep?"
