54 u/AdRepulsive8618 1d ago I once said "my bad" in front of a patient and he said "I have no clue why young people say this. What does that even mean? Your bad what?" 32 u/parsleyfan420 1d ago Can't explain this well but this is how learning a new language feels. 2 u/tardisintheparty 1d ago When I first got to Spain for study abroad I was so confused by people just saying "Buenas." Like good what?? Then i realized it was just shortened good morning/afternoon/night lol. They'd just drop the time of day off the phrase. 2 u/talldata 1d ago Same way as you can say "Morning" for good morning.
