Bad ass girlsMy old but accurate "Webster's New World Dictionary: Third College Edition," defines a "badass" as "a troublemaker, especially one who is rough, tough, mean, or sometimes, violent." The word is listed as both a noun and an adjective, and both are one word.
drive bad asstrucks
I don't think I'll be driving an "asstruck," thank you very much. In fact, that's one vehicle I'd prefer not to see on the road -- ever.
And here's the kicker. The bumper sticker was on the back of a Ford Escort, a car that's always said "troublemaker" to me.

The Concise OED gives a secondary meaning of badass (adj) as "very good".
Still one word, though.
