Not My Bag

To not be of someone's 'thing,' interest, taste or expertise. A polite way of saying that you have no interest whatsoever in what is being suggested or discussed. Can also be used in admitting ignorance of a certain subject.

Compare 'bag' to cup of tea. Perhaps derived from 'bag of tea.'

in my bag

The act of becoming one with whatever task you are trying to achieve. One dimensional. Tunnel vision. Grindin'. One who is "in my bag" has forgotten about all else except for the current moment. When you are in your bag you are unstoppable, you will shred anything and everything.

I was in my bag when I got 30 headshots last night!

My Bag

The term "My Bag" was originally slang for taking responsibility for one's own actions. Somewhere in the early 90s people started saying "My bad" either because they wanted to change the verbage of the original, or because they just plain didn't understand the original meaning. "My Bag" is slang for "Baggage",ie: You take your own problems, put them in a bag and carry it on your own back. "It's on me, my fault, my problem. "My Bag" excepts and takes the burden, "My Bad" just dismisses it.

"Joe, do you need help paying for your rent this month? I know you haven't been working and would really like to help you out." said Nick. "No thanks man, that's My Bag." said Joe. "Oh, My Bad, I just thought you could use the help dude."
