Originated in the America as an apology for a poor basketball pass in the 70s.

Not as frequent or soul destroying as "I'm good" or "It's all good". Those phrases make me want to start killing again.

Not as bad as people who say 'eggy' to describe someone who is pissed of

Definitely a basketball thing.
To me it's like saying it's "half ten." Half ten is technically five but I think it's a great way to say 10:30.
Little differences, while they still exist in our increasingly global world, make life interesting.

Doesn't "eggy" in the sense of someone annoying probably go back to Old Norse, and is the same word as "edge", in Proto- Germanic. They word just went through different sound changes.
I know "egging someone on" comes from that, as edging meant giving something an edge, which moved to "inciting someone"
If so then "eggy" would be something that could incite you. If Old Norse, it would make sense it was more popular up North.

Sloth rhyming with cloth instead of Slow-th and Leveridge/Lever instead of Leaverage/Leaver - they're murdering our language

I was in a coffee shop the other day and the person in front of me asked for a coffee "extra hot". What does that mean?
