baaad

baaad

1. Elongated form of bad.
   • 1996, John Tierney, “Recycling is Garbage”, in New York Times‎:

     "How does all this make you feel?"
     "Baaaad", the students moaned.

   • 2012, K. Bennett, The Year of Eating Dangerously‎ (urban fantasy), page 10:

     The last living biker came at me with a knife, a big honking knife, the kind that makes an outlaw feel really baaaad. I hate getting cut. That leaves a definite scar on my not so resilient skin.

• As with other elongated forms, the number of repetitions of the vowel is arbitrary; a longer spelling indicates a longer pronunciation by the speaker, but not necessarily a greater intensity of meaning.
