Taking names - what is it?

This is just from rumors I hear and web forums I read. I started hearing "kick ass and take names" around the late 80's. Some say it's a police expression.

It probably means that cops or your group of fighters kick the ass of your opponents. Then you "take names" of the people you beat. That way you know the name of a guy you beat. And when you meet him again, you know you can beat him up again.

Taking names - what does it mean?

The act of being unequivocally awesome. It generally involves showing people what's up, making people feel like morons for being wrong, and defeating terrorists. It is indeed an action worthy of the highest honor.

It refers to an older sayings "Kick ass first, take names later," or "Shoot first, ask questions later." Generally, it is frowned upon enacting such awesomeness without "asking questions" first. However, when used in this context, that much is forgiven.

Taking names

Taking names - yes, total domination, all that. But its origins are old school: when a military unit wipes out an opposing military unit so completely that they cease to exist as a unit, that unit's name is taken. Once upon a time, their colors - their flag - was taken. Think about an MC being stripped of their cuts.

"I was in Marine Recon in Vietnam. We were kickin' ass and taking names - called in an arclight strike on a whole division of NVA." (To be clear - this is an example...no personal claims here.)
