BadArse

1. Mother-flipping British English variation of the American 'badass'. This version works best pronounced with an English accent, in the same way that the American 'badass' works best with an American accent.

It's unpopular, under-used and extremely difficult to pull off without sounding like a total muppet; consequently, it's hipper than wearing a home made t-shirt with a quote on that nobody's ever heard of, taken from a book no one has ever read.

Badarse

A ‘British’ version of the word badass. Except, no actual British person would say that. For when American writers try to write brits and do it laughably wrong.

“Okay, so I read over that draft you sent me, you had Tom say “Badarse”?

“What’s wrong? He’s a British character.”

“British people don’t… talk like that.”
