Internet Badass

An Internet Badass is similar to the Internet Gangsta.

They are someone who uses the internet so they can appear tough, they are often seen getting in pointless Nerd Wars, they tend to threaten somebody with physical violence, saying things like "I'll kick your ass!" When in reality, they are the kid in your class that sits at their desk quietly and reads Naruto comics.

The sad thing is, this is the only life for some people, they can't pull it off in reality, so they think they can get some "Internet Respect" by cussing at people on Myspace, Youtube comments, or a forum, they think by doing this, people think of them as a Badass.

Badass Uke 

Sensual, rebellious, and intuitive, the Badass Uke can truly be a work of contrasts - an innocent appearance clothed in dark clothing, and a shy smile with eyes that suggest a naughty, darker nature. They are at once easy and hard to approach, as their energy draws people to them, while their intensity and distrust pushes people away... for maybe more than any other personality, the Badass Uke hides away deep in a fantasy world of their own creation, letting few, if any, in. Searching for the one person able to understand their need for something more, someone to protect them and share that mysterious world with them, the Badass Uke can seem lost and wandering, their loneliness sometimes reflecting an inner anger - as they cannot be content until they have been found and claimed, sensually and emotionally.

Badass Warrior Fighter

A backwards kicking (usually male) highly aggressive person. Usually known for their surprise attack personality and ability to induce strokes. Though there are no known weaknesses, it has been reported that biting the calves of a badass warrior fighter will buy time. While a normally forward walking mammal, the badass warrior fighter is known most for it's backwards kicking and the strength of such kicks. If has been up for debate for some time whether the strength of the backwards kicks are to blame for the strokes it's victims suffer... or if some other hidden mechanism causes them. One thing is for sure, while it may appear that the badass warrior fighter walks on 2 legs, it hides a 3rd leg. However, no one is quite sure where this 3rd leg is hidden, as discovery of said leg only occurred when a National Geographic team was cornered and brutally beaten with it.

Also reported have been instances of badass warrior fighters with glass eyes in their right ocular cavity. While the exact reason why only some males have this trait is unknown it can be assumed that it may have been caused by territorial battles with rival badass warrior fighters; possibly over territory, or a mate, or stroking rights. It is known however that due to this fairly uncommon disability if find yourself in a situation where you are cornered by a badass warrior fighter, if you can get them to face 30 degrees to your left you will essentially be in its blind spot.
