bad

bad
Immoral; unworthy; unfit; of inferior quality. Good and bad are both terms of comparison. The same article may be called, not inaccurately, good when compared with one of the same kind of a much inferior quality; and it may, with equal correctness, be characterized as bad when spoken of with reference to the most perfect article of the kind. Tobias v Harland (NY) 4 Wend 537, 541.
