1. the opposite of
GOOD. See some of the synonym tags below.
2. tough, cool, macho, poised, refined, alright, reserved, studly, get the idea? You don't have to be a man to be bad - some women fit into this category too. Also, "bad" isn't exclusively for straight
people either. There are many gay
men (and women) who are "bad" too. "Badness" is a description of a personality and character, not a shallow imitation.
3. Michael Jackson's famous album from 1987. It entered the album charts at Number One ( a rare feat at the
time) and scored several
big hits like the previous 1982 classic album "Thriller". However this
time a new chart record was also achieved: BAD scored FIVE Number One hits - "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (with Siedah Garrett), the title track (... I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it...really really bad..."), "The Way You Make Me Feel" (... ain't nobody's business...), "Man In The Mirror" (...make that change!), and "Dirty Diana" (come ON!). Check it out.

Dudes
is a neighborhood club set up by Al Bundy on the TV show "Married With Children".
5. BAD is also
BigAudio
Dynamite,
a clubby techno
dance rock band formed by Clash guitarist Mick Jones around 1984. They made innovative albums and in 1990 a new lineup resulted in BAD II. They're best known for their 1991
hit "Rush", about this
time their music became oversampled big
time. A few years later the band became just "
Big Audio". They split up about a year afterward. The first BAD incarnation made the best stuff like "The Bottom Line" and "C'mon Every Beatbox".

Vanessa, Rico. She is bad news. A real bad
apple.
2. My
girlfriend is a smoker but she keeps trying to quit. She says to me to don't ever start, it's a bad habit.
3. Billy Idol is one bad
dude. You can tell by his songs, his videos, his sneer and his shows. They don't call him an "idol" for
nothing!
4. U2 made a tune called "Bad". So have other people. Also, George Thorogood has proclaimed himself to be "Bad To The Bone". So have the reggae band Inner Circle on a different tune of the same name. They also scored a big hit "Bad Boys" (the theme from COPS).
5. Michael Jackson's BAD album had a chart run that lasted for the rest of the decade. The hits kept on a-comin'.
6. Al Bundy established his BAD club during one of the first few seasons of the show, IOW while it still had some funny elements to it, before it "jumped the shark".
