An American inner city phrase that means "really good" or "really cool". As in, "What did you think of the movie?", "It was all that and a bag of chips!".

Ooo, you're probably right. I suppose in England, though, you'd say, "All that and a bag of crisps". Kind of loses something in the translation, though. smiley - smiley

You know, that's odd. I never, ever heard the expression "my bad" until I started watching South Park. I can only assume that it's an American expression, since I've never heard it used anywhere in Canada.

We prefer more direct statements, such as "oops". smiley - smiley

here in america, it ranges from 'oops' to 'my bad' to 'my b' to the ever popular 'oh shit!'
lots of different ways to express yourself!

up, we get South Park up here. I have the first season on DVD, and I went and saw the movie three times. It's very stupid-funny, indeed. "Super sweet", if you will. smiley - smiley

I'm going to see the South Park movie in about 4 hours, probably one of the first showings in England (it's an advance showing). I think I'll take a bag of chips and a bag of crisps, just in case. And I'll take the "all that" you mentioned too.

Oh, yes, the South Park movie is most definitely all that and a bag of chips. Much funnier than any of the TV episodes. Geez, it's only coming out in England now? That is terribly wack. smiley - smiley

It's odd that the newspapers here talk about how much Canada-bashing they do in the movie, but I've seen it three times and I haven't seen any real Canada-bashing yet. Just American-bashing.

Did I mention that the South Park movie is a musical?
