The most annoying Americanism ever has to be 'my bad'. For those of you who have been lucky enough not to hear it before, it means 'my mistake' - because apparently the two whole syllables in mistake are too much to handle.

I have heard that one a lot recently, in fact I even read it somewhere on this forum. Glad it's not just me who finds it annoying.

 I have to admit that's what I thought the first time I saw it.
