Generally refers to a male. Confident, secure, uninhibited, so cool it hurts, hardcore, independent – all in one. I guess the character of James Bond is expected to be badass.
Sometimes referred to a woman. Means being down to earth, daring, confident unafraid of challenge (not intellectual but the challenge of real life experience – sports, extreme experiences, edgy actions). I guess they refer badass to a woman who looks quite tender and feminine so that they do not expect her to keep her senses facing a challenge. maybe a badass woman is an attractive female who behaves unexpectedly confidently in unusual situation.

Someone who is so cool it hurts others to even be in contact with their greatness.

The true American male. He is so insecure that it shows anytime he does anything, whether it's ordering yet another drink, buying a car way beyond his means, or treating women like shit. He is always looking for a fight, but if anyone stands up to him he whimpers away as the coward he is. He thinks that shouting at and beating women is the way a "man" handles these matters, and will sexually harrass any woman, regardless of age, in an effort to repress his homosexual desires.

A badass thinks and does whatever he sees on TV or hears on the radio. He wears whatever is advertised, and he drives a car meant to distract from his miniscule dick and inability to please a woman. Since he has not yet evolved independent thought, he does whatever the media tells him to. His "style" is a tasteless combination of whatever is popular at that given moment. He may have a Harley or a Corvette, or some other set of wheels that "gives" him style, because he sure as hell has none! All in all, the consummate loser.
Woman #1: All the men I meet seem to be badasses.
Woman #2: I have the same problem.
Woman #1: I have an idea, why don't we fuck each other, and not bother with these assholes ever again.
Woman #2: I'm way ahead of you, baby, if I had any panties on they would be sopping wet by now.
Woman #1: I can't believe I wasted so much time with these worthless fuckers!
Woman #2: Me neither. Forget about that, hon, and let's eat each others pussy!
Woman #1: Mmmmmmmmmmm!
Woman #2: Mmmmmmmmmmm!

There are many kinds of badasses. A badass can be a good guy or a bad guy, a man or a woman, a brawler or an acrobat. One of the main traits of a badass is the ability to kick lots of ass. However, being able to kick ass does not make you a badass. Badass is a frame of mind. A badass gets shit done, and does it in a really cool way. Badasses take down anyone who crosses them without even thinking about it. The only thing that can stop a badass from reaching his or her goal is death, but some badasses don't even let death stop them. A badass generally lets his or her actions speak for themselves. Badasses live by their own rules.
