downright
'they're downright badass'
1)I'm thinking this isn't a paper english
2)I'm just trying to see how to interpret it for meaning 'completely' or 'totally', I mean down-right, we're talking about a direction at 4 o'clock, so i don't get it
3) is it restricted for only female use, is it common?

Hi Terr3
1) The word 'downright' is fine in both formal and informal English. The word 'badass' is vulgar slang.
2) The word 'downright' has nothing to do with "a direction at 4 o'clock". The word 'right' can also mean 'completely' or 'quite'. However, you should not try to split the word 'downright' into parts. Just learn the meaning of the word as a whole.
3) 'Do
