baddies
The bad guys
Baddies is the plural of baddy, an informal word for villains or antagonists—the bad guys in a story, game, or conflict: The hero fought off the baddies.
In recent slang, baddie has flipped to mean an attractive, confident woman, often one who knows she looks good: She posted photos looking like a total baddie.
Context usually makes the meaning clear.
