The Breaking Bad won as the Best Drama series last Sunday night at Emmy Awards. No doubt that this drama is popular among the audience, but many are puzzled to what the title really means and imply?
In a speech, show creator Vince Gilingan revealed that he never thought that the show's title will provoke curiosity among the audience. He added that he was not aware that "Breaking Bad" was indeed an expression among Southern Regionalism from Virginia. "I thought it was just an ordinary expression", Gilingan said. He finally revealed that Breaking Bad means "to raise hell, like going out on a bar and you broke bad".
Some reacted to Gilingan's definition, while some accepted it. In a Breaking Bad web forum, many would prefer to be define it as "to raise hell" then connoting it to "it's like going out on a bar and you broke bad". Majority view the title as something that is related to violence like "rising like hell".
Some critics added that when you try to search Breaking Bad on an urban dictionary, it will actually give you different meaning such as "to go wild", "to defy authority", "outlaw", "combative", "threatening", and "to have a hidden intention such as humiliating others".
Aside from those, the term Breaking Bad already made its appearance in various books and magazines such as in the New York Times during the 70's, which suggest "to turn violent unnecessary".
In the 80's, John Langston Gwaltney Drylongso connected his view during the earliest African- American relationship where a Black American said that if a white American will come to him to ask for a favor, he would not break bad.Although the term Breaking Bad made a debut appearance on a different social media forms, but a few have known that it was first appeared in a very different sense. It was when Wall Street writer referred Breaking Bad as the expression that pertains to the condition of the business world that time.
