'my bad'

Hi Teachers,

I am not sure if this is an appropriate place for this question.
But here goes -
Is 'my bad' used in the UK and Australia, or is it limited to the US?
Is it related to Ebonics?

Thanks

I don't know if it's used in Australia or the UK but this slang phrase became popular in the 90's in North America. I hear it used by teenagers but not as much any more.
