A hardass or hard ass is someone who is very authoritative or who appears to be such. This type of person will have his or her own way and expects the respect and co-operation of others.

This is someone who won't let you get away with anything. Someone who falls into this category usually offers a lot of tough love and tends to lack empathy for other people.

As long as you show a good level of respect in a hardass' presence, you should be fine. They prey on teenagers and those who are feeble-minded.
Person 1: Oh man, my dad's such a hardass.
Person 2: Yeah, what did he do?
Person 1: He kicked me out of the house and enrolled me in the army just for skipping one class.
Person 2: Shiiiit! WHAT a hardass.
Person 1: Duuuude, I know.

The Hazaras are the third largest ethnic group of Afghanistan, native to Hazarajat. They're essentially a diverse and mixed race, descended native Iranic peoples of Afghanistan and Turko-Mongols from North-Central/North/East Asia, many claim to be descendents of Genghis Khan. They are definitely NOT pure Mongolians despite some looking predominantly East Asian, many look different as they are a very diverse people. They speak Hazaragi, an Iranic language mutually intelligible with Dari (Afghan Persian) but contains many Altaic words as well. However genetically, they are closer to the Turkic peoples of Afghanistan such as the Uzbeks than the other Iranic speaking peoples. What makes them distinct from all the other ethnic groups is the fact that they are almost entirely Shi'ite (although there are minority shi'ites in Pashtun and Tajik peoples).
Hazaras are probably the most discriminated people in Afghanistan.

Habadassery 

Like a haberdashery, but for badasses. Rathers than bowties and cufflinks, a habadassery sells leather jackets and explosions.

Currency in a habadassery usually takes the form of flying kicks, boners, and bullets to the face.

It is a little known fact that habadasserii (the plural spelling) actually existed before haberdasheries. Haberdasheries were created to cater for young men with more money than cojones, hoping to earn valuable street credits from fine tailoring rather than rough fisticuffs. Now the art of the habadasser is largely forgotten, and truly kick-ass explosions are hard to come by.
Foolish male: I need to go shopping for some dandy new clothes. Would you care to accompany me to the nearest haberdashery?

REAL MAN: What the hell? Shuck that jive!
I'm not shopping with you coz I'm not your wife!
Especially not in a gorram haberdashery,
My balls care not for such exotic finery.
Real men don't shop, non-stop they BUY.
And they only buy from habadasserii.
Also they intentionally rhyme, all the time.

Foolish male: That was quite a funky little song. Habadasserii?

REAL MAN: Its the plural of habadassery. Like octopii.
