    Actually I thought the BADDEST" work was an acronym for "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". Long ago when it was against the law for people to have sex with people they weren't married to, it was abbreviated this way instead of spelled out. And of course, it stuck.

    Thank you for putting this one on. I was starting to believe that I was the only one who knew the true phrase.(And I was beginning to doubt myself.) Everybody around here says "I could care less". Drives me right up the wall. Think about those words.

    The use of the word "awesome" for ever little event or statement. It is an over used word for the wrong things.
