I never really got the title. Did he have a "breakdown" in the mental health sense? No! He was absolutely coherent, organised and focused. He was also very smart and professional, at every turn.Hornbein said:If someone can break bad I don't see why they can't break lose.
I always took it in the sense of an analogy with the break in a game of pool. You hit the ball, you break the balls and the outcome is good or bad. You got a "good break" or a "bad break".pinball1970 said:I never really got the title. Did he have a "breakdown" in the mental health sense? No! He was absolutely coherent, organised and focused.

According to Time entertainment editor Lily Rothman, the term has a broader meaning and is an old phrase which "connotes more violence than 'raising hell' does ... [T]he words possess a wide variety of nuances: to 'break bad' can mean to 'go wild', to 'defy authority', and break the law, to be verbally 'combative, belligerent, or threatening' or, followed by the preposition 'on', 'to dominate or humiliate'."
I was referring to the phrase as it is. It does not ring a bell with a UK audience.pbuk said:Nor me, although I never let it worry me. It turns out the answer was out there all along:
