Annotation
Another Bad Ass appears in Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea's Illuminatus! trilogy of novels.
"Bad Ass" is also a North American slang term for "bad attitude," "impressive," "tough," or, charitably, a stubborn clinging on to old ways of thinking, perceived as a little bit anachronistic by the rest of the country.
