The word says bad and means good, and the bridge between them is one idea: do not mess with this. Think of a heavy black , or a drum part that shakes the floor. Nothing about them is nice or sweet; that is the point. They have force, and force is what earns the praise. Point the same word at a person and you get someone who will not back down and does not much care about the rules — and at the person as a title, a bad-ass. The rude half of the word never wears off: ass keeps it street-level, so the compliment only works among friends.
這個字寫的是「壞」，講的是「好」，中間的橋只有一句話：這東西不好惹。可以想成一台全黑的重機，或是一段震到地板的鼓。它們都不甜、不可愛，而那正是重點。它們有力量，被稱讚的就是那股力量。把同一個字指向人，就是那種不退讓、也不太理會規矩的人；再把人整個打包成稱號，就成了 a bad-ass。要記得，那個粗的一半從來沒有消失：ass 讓它一直停在街頭語氣，所以這句稱讚只在朋友之間成立。
