A badass isn't someone wears ripped leather jackets,
a badass isn't someone who
breaks stuff to look tough, and a badass isn't someone who fights for the fun of fighting. That's the definition of a poser. Being a badass is completely different.
Unspoken Rules of Being Badass:
1.
First rule of being a badass. A badass does not talk about being a badass. Period.
2. Second rule of being a badass, a badass does not try to be a badass or look tough. A badass simply is a badass.
3. A badass stays true to themselves, always. This means being themselves for themselves, and not being fake to impress others.
4. A badass does not give up. Badasses will always push themselves for the better, no matter how hard it gets.
5. A badass is
not a jerk. A badass does not prey on the weak, and shows kindness in return to those who are kind.
6. A badass knows his/her limits. Don't be stupid, you're not Superman, you'll die if you
jump off a building.
7. A badass does not make enemies or go looking for fights. They do not fights that aren't worth fighting either.
Any breaking of these rules is grounds revoking of the status of being a badass. If this happens, a badass must once again prove they are worthy of being badass by following the rules. A badass can only be determined by the opinions of others.
Example:
Poser Jock: "Look at my muscles, I can bench 250lbs, I could knock any of you b/c I'm so badass!"
Badass: "Alright. Prove it."
*Poser Jock makes a
beeline at the Badass and throws a punch that misses the Badass, and ends up
hitting the wall.*
Poser Jock: "Oww, my hand!"
*Badass throws one quick punch to the gut, knocking the Poser Jock out cold."
Nerd #1: "Look, he punched that poser jock out! He's such a badass!"
*Badass says nothing*
Nerd #2: "He's following
rule number one, he's definitely a badass!"
*Badass says nothing again*
