| :**:::We already have documented the valence flip at [[bad#Etymology 2]], that being the kind of "fun" thing that folks like to do. Even there we miss one of the two senses that MWOnline has ("tough"), which fit my experience, FWIW. I've long wondered about the validity of Etymology 2. It seems more likely that it is in the contrary-to-dominant-culture nature of slang (in this case AAVE) for the valence flip to have developed.
