| 词汇 | baaad |
| 词源 | baaad. Bad, when slowly pronounced baaad, has long been black slang for something or someone good, and recently this meaning has come into general usage to a limited extent. The variation is so old that it is found in the American Creole lan- guage Gullah three centuries ago, when baaad was used by slaves as an expression of admiration for another slave who successfully flaunted “Ole Massa’s” rules. |
