• "Kicking Ass and Taking Names" goes back to the Vietnam War. Its something the guys going into combat would say they were going to do. The "Kicking Ass" part means that they were going to win. The taking names part was that they were going to collect the "Dog Tags" or the names of the American soldiers that were killed. Its means that "I'm going to survive. When used properly it means that you are surviving or that you intend to survive.

expression

• Comes from the TV cop series "Hunter," late 80's to early 90's. It meant I'm going out there to get the bad guys." It is commonly misunderstood as a call to violence, when it actually meant "I'M GOING TO FOLLOW PROCEDURE, BUT BARELY WITHIN THE LIMITS."
