badder
Slang for worse
Badder is a nonstandard comparative form of bad, used in casual speech and music where *worse* would be grammatically expected: Who's badder, him or me?
The form gained currency partly through its use in slang where *bad* means good, cool, or tough—contexts where *worse* wouldn't carry the right swagger: the baddest dude on the block.
