Secret Badass 

An ordinary looking, seemingly average girl/guy you kind of know through friends or work. They hang out, seem amicable, but never really stand out in any particular way. You might even talk shit about how boring they are... until you find out they're a world class Spanish guitar player, NASA engineer, capoeira instructor and trendy nightclub owner, all while dating a Swedish supermodel.
"Hey, have you met Dave?"
"Dude, Dave sucks. The guy is like wallpaper."
"Yesterday he bicycle-kicked a beehive into a KKK meeting."
"HOLY SHIT."
"Yeah, he's a secret badass."

Ultimate Badass 

This is the expression used for the type o' guy who has to pay for repairs on the tank that just hit him, the guy who uses helicopter blades when shaving, the world record holder for most lead eaten in under a minute, the guy who's faster than a crack head with a prescription pad, the very same man that had Chuck Norris mow his lawn, the kind o' guy who catches his taxis by hand and the one we all know as Ultimate Badass.

barney badass

A person who likes to try talking and acting like they're tough shit but is incapable of backing it up. Tends to be someone with a very bad temper and a loud mouth who likes make fun of people and start trouble, and as such, are not very well liked by people who know them. As soon as someone confronts them about their shit-talking they like to throw fits and resort to making threats that they cannot back up. Often times, people who fall under the definition of this term are frequent drinkers who engage in the aformentioned behaviors while under the influence of alcohol.
That Barney badass needs to get put in his place.

Intellectual Badass

A very smart person (usually with an IQ over 130) that doesn't act like your typical nerd. They don't give a shit about race, most have friends from a variety of races, or others religion, e.i. one could be christian with an atheist friend. Generally avoid the populars. Usually wear clothes more toward comfortable than fashionable though they can be fashionable. Intellectual Badasses (or IBAs) usually dont fit in with many other people than other IBAs. They hate posers (e.i. Their theme song says "we don't roll with the grills; we got braces on our faces) Could be precieved as normal but everyone know who they are because they're the group that's always laughing geniunely and cracking perverted jokes. Usually envied by populars/bitches. Top of the 'food chain' but don't really give a shit about it. Stick together like real friend should.
Bitch: Ugh they're such losers!
IBA: Nah we're bad ass. Intellectual badass bitch. So step back before I make you!
