The longer apology comes after the dance is over.

Hilarious. I usualy just say "****! I hate slow fox trots."

And to answer the OP's question, they definitely don't all belong in the same group, and yes, some are definitely a hell of a lot cheesier than others.

+1. I am not a huge details fan. Their readership is a group of people who basically are "that guy" but for some reason don't want to think they are. Bottom line-- apologies to fans of Details, but I canceled my subscription about a year ago.

Yeah, I tried that, but I decided that "my bad" is more socially acceptable than "oh ****". It took some training, but now I'm quite happily "that guy".

Instead of enduring a slow foxtrot, my solution was to learn West Coast swing.

I didn't like that saying "my bad" was on the list. I use it to say "oops" (and sometimes as a follow-up) more than to express "sorry."

But I'm from San Diego where "formal" means tuck your shirt in...
