BAMF

Slang for impressive

BAMF is an acronym for "bad-ass motherfucker"—someone impressively tough, skilled, or formidable.

Used as high praise for competence or coolness: She walked in and handled the whole crisis like a total BAMF.

The term circulates in internet slang and casual speech, usually admiring rather than literally obscene.
