hi sorry for my ignorance, but does anyone here know where this came from.. it seems to be as a reply to making an error/mistake.. but for the life of me can't work it out... what does it mean, where did it come from - or is it just some american carp that we are following as per usual? any responses greatly appreciated. :P

I think it came from an African basketballer in the late '80s who was in the US. Of course it spread from there.

Yeah - I hate it too.
Especially hearing people HERE say it.

It's just not correct! At least to me anyway.

It's like seeing something done well and asking "Who did that job well?"

And someone saying "My good".

Boo.
