Your thoughts on the GREENS ?

It's been around as a saying for decades.

What a lot of puerile rubbish. Do you people ever actually THINK?

Thought not. It's all personal with you, isn't it?

Hi Hebe,

I think the thrust of what the greens wanted to achieve when they first formed was founded on good principles. I too care about how we go about our business and not just what the economic outcomes will be.

I think they need to decide what they want to be when they grow up.

What particular part of the thread is rubbish beyond the whole thread being rubbish?

Where did the term "My bad" come from?

I hear it everywhere these days.

Lucas, where did you pick this term up from, do you remember?

Internet forums many years ago.

I first noticed it in real common use when the head of my division at work used it in front of a customer to explain he f..ked up. I was stunned. Languages change now I am noticing it on TV and in more common us. It is amazing how language changes.

my bad, Slang. my fault! my mistake!

'My bad' came into widespread popular use in the mid to late-1990s in the USA via the 1995 movie “Clueless”. This starred Alicia Silverstone and contains what seems to have been the first use of the phrase in the mainstream media. The 1994 'Green revision pages' for the movie script has a scene with Alicia Silverstone's character learning to drive:

"Cher swerves - to avoid killing a person on a bicycle. Cher: Whoops, my bad."

Actually, considering that the Greens attract only a tiny proportion of the voter base, it would be your (and theirs) thinking that would be the puerile rubbish.

Have you thought what a majority elected Greens government would do to this country? We would be completely ruined and broke inside 6 months. Just because the rest of Australia props up the Tasmanian basket case economy doesn't mean there is an endless supply of free money that you can keep spending on rubbish ideas and ideology.

Tassie is the dole bludging unwashed hippy scumbag of the Aussie family who still lives in his mothers basement, pays no rent, leeches money off his relatives and thinks the world owes him a living.

"My bad" is an American idiom that was made popular by basketball players in playground games in the 1970s and 1980s. It usually means "my fault", "my mistake", "I apologize"[1] or "mea culpa". It gained popularity with urban players of streetball and then spread into mainstream popularity.
