Teddy Roosevelt- reading a biography of this man is like reading a manual on how to be a BAMF, not only did he kick ass his entire life, with such BAMFness as giving a two hour speech with a bullet in his chest, but death had to take him in his sleep because if he had been awake he would have kicked deaths ass.

Get the BAMF mug.An extension of the acronym BAMF, a BAMF Switch is a scene in an action or other genre of film, where a character, typically lead, becomes more of a BAMF than they were a moment before.
Most, but not all, BAMF Switches result in some kind of fight scene.
BAMF Switches are often characterized by:
1.) Changes in music. (Raised tempo, a more intense genre, or even no music at all.)
2.) Monologing, or, more commonly, a single phrase.
3.) Flashbacks
4.) Slow Motion
5.) Reloading a weapon
6.) A physical gesture, such as cracking the neck or knuckles, or awesomely punching someone.
7.) Shifting Gears (If in a vehicle)
8.) A Close up. Especially if the character has just done something very dramatic, such as falling in a pool of blood, or cutting some dude in half.
9.) A change in Weather. Often to high winds or rain. (Similar effects can be given by sprinklers, or large fans)
10.) A Physical Transformation. (Putting on armor or some kind of awesome suit, changing into some kind of creature, or transforming from a vehicle into a giant robot.)

Get the BAMF! mug.Only the coolest town ever made on the planet. Bamberg sits classy with its 3 fast food places- Hardee's, KFC/Taco Bell, & Subway. Go to Hardee's before 9 am and see all the rednecks. Just watch out on your way there for Officer James Smoak or Officer Chris Sandifer, they're ruthless.
