baddest

Coolest, in slang

Baddest is the superlative of bad in its slang sense of impressively good, tough, or formidable: the baddest dude on the block, the baddest guitar player in town.

The nonstandard form signals the slang meaning—using "worst" would lose the swagger.

The word carries admiration for someone's skill, style, or dominance.
