TODAY’S SLANGUAGE: (Gen Z) “baddie”

Body description:

Baddie: noun

A confident, stylish, and attractive woman 


Baddie is a noun, although it is sometimes used like an adjective to modify other nouns, as in “baddie vibes/style/era/etc.” Baddie is positive, complimentary, and often celebratory. A suggestion of self-confidence, baddie began appearing online in the late 2010s. It is similar to an older term bad b**ch, whose second element is a positive delivery of that word. Both uses originated in African American English slang. 


Gamitin natin nang bongga (with references to Zarnaih "Naih" Marchessa from “He's Into Her” played by Criza Taa): 

Naih is seen as a strong example of "baddie" energy within the series. She is known for being Maxpein's loud, outspoken, and loyal best friend who is also an iyakin (crybaby). Her fave baddie line: "Stoooppp Me!!!"
