Default Define Badass

On a thread about the Women’s MC club, called the Litas, they kept calling them badasses. I’m sure they’re pretty, interesting, Skilled motorcycle riders. But why are they badasses?

I don’t hang with murderous criminals, so most of the badasses I know are veterans, or police officers. Some doormen.

I was a doorman on Rush Street in Chicago. I broke up a few fights, but I’m no badass. One guy I worked with was though. His Dad was a Chicago cop. We worked with a nice guy who would always get in a fight when he was drunk. One night we could see the writing on the wall, so my buddy took a broomstick that had an eye with the bar keys attached to it. He took the keys off, so it was just a stick with an eye sticking out. When the 240 lb drunk started a fight, the wiry 6’2”, 190 lb doorman walked up, whacked him upside the head, pulled it forward opening up a jagged, 1/2”deep cut. Big man fell like a pile of rocks. I thought that was cold, but efficient. There were no repercussions back in 1979.

So that’s the kind of guy I think is a badass. Quiet, polite, but strong in mind and body. They don’t bully people, but they don’t take any crap.

I could tell tell stories about a Racine cop I knew that was a defensive tactics instructor, and Vietnam Marine veteran, but I don’t know what the statute of limitations is.

My dad never raised his voice or his hand towards my mom. He would defend us kids to the death if we were right. He missed 3 days of work in 41 years at the same company. He was in church every Sunday and sat with my mom as she suffered through dementia. He was by no means perfect but I think he qualifies as a badass.

Not really a definition, but along the lines of what Ron750 said, a true badass is usually the last guy you would think of as being a badass....

They may be cute ***'s, smart ***'s, fat, saggy or lazy ***'s but bad ***'s they ain't.
