I'm sure we've discussed 'my bad' before on this <service>.  It's hardly a
phenomenon of just the past few years.  We used the term all the time (too
often, in my own case) on the volleyball court back when I was a regular
player in pickup games ... in Louisville in the mid-to-late 70s.

I had not heard of 70s usage before -- is this documented? (I have not
unpacked all my books yet.)
