    ^ I'm afraid we simply do not use the term.

    And what about Marceau, au juste ?
    I can see a hat, I can see a cat,
    I can see a man with a baseball bat.

        oh and, on a totally different note (well maybe not so different actually) i handled and even tried on the new bbs leather everyone is talking about with great praise, the one with classic shirt collar and double zip... in a 'perforated' (who said CCP08? not me for sure) version. Retail is €3077. Maybe in my book after all, badass equals wtf.
        My understanding of the term is that it is used by Americans to emphasize the appearance of danger and toughness filtered through popular culture they see in people's look or actions.

                Further confusing things is badass is often used more generically as a synonym for "awesome" or "cool" though I suppose it still implies a slight edge to what is being described.

                  Probably because there are no badasses in France.

                      Well, we used to have this fine specimen of triumphant virility...


                      ... but he unfortunately went under ther radar a while ago. As for our local Brando...


                      ... He recently left us to answer an invitation from the king of all badasses. Which leaves us with those guys :


                      Pretty sick as fuck, I would say. Framed like junkies, tough as shaolin monks. They'd burn you alive if they had a chance.

                      I can see a man with a baseball bat.

                          Nah, almost everything can be mortel, from films to wine, not to mention tits, asses and french philosophers. Badass sounds more precise.
