Does 'badass' mean good or bad?
 

Just curious, if someone refers to something as 'Badass' is it a compliment or a derogatory remark ?

I'm European so I haven't a clue :helpme

bad meaning good

Ah ok, Bit like 'Wicked' I guess then :)

I would say it means 'tough guy' or 'very cool'.

Bad ass is either someone who thinks they are a tough guy, or some one who actually is, it has a few different meanings:

Tito Ortiz Ultimate fighting Champion, is a Bad Ass.(positive)

Unruly Children could also be referred to as "Bad Ass Kids" (negative)

"Bad" can mean good, as is, "Fresh", "Phat", "Nice", "Beautiful", "Hot", "Phenominal".

Or "Not Good"

It means that the ass in question is bad - possibly rotting or mishapen.

what are "ass kids"?

Bad is good right? now I am confused.

It means tough guy, i guess

When you say 'bad is good', is that like 'no' means 'yes'?

im confused
but then again, in the old days I though Narly meant *awesome*, and now I guess it means *Awful*

it's like uber good is a special way! :Graucho
