If so forget all the blocked shots, threes and humanitarian work.. this may be by far his biggest accomplishment.

Says Arneson, "I first heard the phrase here in the Bay Area when Bol joined the Golden State Warriors in 1988, when several Warriors players started using the phrase."
And Ben Zimmer's rummaging in the newspaper files down in the basement of Language Log Plaza produced a couple of early 1989 quotes that confirm this convincingly: St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Jan. 10, 1989: When he [Manute Bol] throws a bad pass, he'll say, "My bad" instead of "My fault," and now all the other players say the same thing.
USA Today, Jan. 27, 1989: After making a bad pass, instead of saying "my fault," Manute Bol says, "my bad." Now all the other Warriors say it too.

how is my cred done when you didn't even know Lil Wayne was part of the group?
besides, I don't keep up any of that shite any more, I'm way to old for, I'm old skool.

i knew he was Part of the group, the way you worded it though was that it was HIS group. was just messing with you. he was actually like 14 or 15

I put it like that because he is the best known of them now, and I couldn't remember who the other 2 were, all I remeber was him and Juvenile, til Max said the other one, and you just said the last one.
but nice escape route, I'll use that one on some one else some time.
I'm still rockin on Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn.
