y bad!
表达歉意,常 y fault! y istake!y bad!()话,首次接触少感些新鲜。y bad! 非正式歉语境,很熟朋友,且很严重,比踩脚样。据,源篮球运动,美城市贫民窟带使尤为广泛。球员犯规或球界,往往脱口 y bad!表示歉意。黑青把带入职业体育运动。y bad!1995影片《独领风骚》播映才流。虽近 y bad! 90代期使频繁,俚语(尤体育)仍占席之。且网聊常使。
例:
y bad! i didn't ean t step n yur ft, susan. yu kn there are s any peple at the stre tday.
!苏珊,故意踩脚,店太。
