Seriously, what does it mean?
My Bad. My Bad what. Where's the verb. Why do Americans insist on making nouns and adjectives into verbs.
As mentioned I was at the Google Developer Day last week and one of the presenters had the word 'incentivize' in his slide.
This is up there with 'my bad'. If you stick 'ize' and the arse end of anything it suddenly becomes a freaking verb. You in effect 'verbize' it.
It's this whole verbization that makes me quite cross. You do it often enough and suddenly you've got a whole bunch of new words polluting the wordosphere. Diarize is a beauty. Monetize is another that Google has introduced into the Geek's lexicon.
