Today’s Secret Word
The word for the day is badass.
It’s a self-negating word, like “classy.” Once you use it, it can’t apply to you.
Scream really loud each time you see it or hear it.

It’s not even a word here (where we say “arse” instead of “ass” anyway), so if I heard ANYONE refer to anyone or anything as “badass” I would immediately peg them as the tooliest of tools. If someone called themselves “badass” then I would quite possibly run in the other direction (screaming, just for you SW).

Haha again like Skye we say ‘arse’ in UK. Also I live in the wrong end of town to hear such words. The worst uttering I’m likely to hear is ‘mawh dahling we must do lunch’ – not to me of course.

Who on earth calls themselves a badass? Though I admit to using the word to decribe Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who was more or less an object of worship for me during my teens.

Get ready to cringe. I’ve heard people (college sorority girls to be quite honest) use the phrase “classy” when referring to themselves. That always made me chuckle.

SAMESIES!!
I used “whackass,” a cousin word, at the office yesterday (in reference to sweet salad dressing accompanying salty pasta – a totally whackass choice as it shoulda been Caesar or at least vinaigrette).
Can I scream anyway? I have lipstick but no large white shoes.

I sheepishly must confess to using the shit out of that word. I say it at least 3 times daily.
April 7th, 2010 at 5:59 am
Okay I must be the token nerd because I’m more excited at the fact that you used Pee Wee Herman and his word of the day for this piece! Totally badass of you SW! (now SCREAM!)

Hmmmm . . . Bessie the badass cow . . . has a nice brass ring to it!

I’ve always felt that way about classy! It’s so not classy.

Take the quiz above to find out how ” Classy” you are. Apparently I am.
I’d rather be a raving slut, now that would be “Badass”

Did you ever read Dominick Dunne in Vanity Fair? Everyone was classy this and classy that, in the most serious, unselfconscious prose.
Whenever I read “classy” I always see it beginning with a “k.”
April 7th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
I think that “classy” works best in a context like “that’s real classy and sexy, yo.”

LOL @ Artful MJ!!!

I LOVE Pee wee.
Just sayin.
Also, I LOVEEEEE Lady Gaga but I hate that she calls herself Avant garde. You shouldn’t even when you are.
April 11th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
if you say “classy” in just the right whispered tone you can maybe get away with it. if you spell klassy with a k, you are my best friend.
as far as this badass business. ok, can we have some legitimate alternatives? i’m working very hard on my hipster, yuppie, streetwise, fashionista lifestyle and want to stay legit. you know like-
