the character "&", representing the word "and"\n\nOrigins: Alteration of "and per se and", meaning literally, "& (the sign) by itself (means) and"\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=ampersand\n\nIn its original form (which differs from the one we currently used) the symbol was a combination of the Latin letters "e" and "t", thus representing the Latin word "et" (meaning "and").   The name "ampersand" itself may have come from the 19th century practice of including this sign at the end when teaching the letters of the alphabet.  For this, to see the earlier form of the sign, and for more on its use see:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersand\n\n(Example of use: in the 19th century, e.g., in personal letters, you will find many instances of "&c", instead of etc. ("et cetera", meaning "and so forth").

Its either d or e. It should be a deshielding effect by the pi electrons. There is some gobbledy-gook showing up in my browser so I can't tell d or e is the pi symbol.

& is an ampersand.\n\nAn ampersand (&, &, &), also commonly called an and sign, is a logogram representing the conjunction "and." The symbol is a ligature of the letters in et, which is Latin for "and." Its origin is apparent in the second example in the image to the right; the first example, now more common, is a later development.\n\nThe ampersand often appeared as a letter at the end of the Latin alphabet, as for example in Byrhtferð's list of letters from 1011. It is thought that teaching & as the last letter of the alphabet (... X Y Z and &), a common practice through the 19th century, led to its name, a corruption of the phrase "and per se and", meaning "and [the symbol which] by itself [is] and". The Scots and Scottish English name for & is epershand, derived from "et per se and" with the same meaning. \n\nThe ampersand symbol has been found on ancient Roman sources dating to the first century A.D. During this period the symbol was a boxy-looking ligature of the capital letters E T. Over time the figure became more curved and flowing, until it came to resemble something like the figure above on the right, often called the "italic" ampersand.\n\nBy the eighth century AD, Western calligraphy was well developed, particularly in forms such as Uncial, Insular script, and Carolingian minuscule. The calligraphers made extensive use of the ampersand because the condensation of a word into a single character made their work easier. During this time the even more condensed ampersand, shown above on the left, was developed. It is often called the "roman" ampersand.\n\nAfter the advent of printing in Europe in 1455, printers made extensive use of both the italic and roman ampersands. Every new typeface and font has included its own style of &. Since the ampersand's roots go back to Roman times, many languages that use a variation of the Latin alphabet make use of it.\n\nHistorically, & was regarded as the 27th letter of the English alphabet. Until recent times the alphabets used by children terminated not with Z but with & or related typographic symbols. George Eliot refers to this when she has Jacob Storey say, "He thought it (Z) had only been put to finish off th' alphabet like; though ampusand would ha' done as well, for what he could see."\n\nThe most likely reason why & was regarded as the 27th letter of the English alphabet is - and like many accounts about the history of punctuation this may be apocryphal - the traditional children's nursery rhyme for learning the alphabet with verbal past tenses (instead of the usual nouns as in "A is for apple, etc") called "A - apple pie". This traditional rhyme reads "A - apple pie. B bit it, C cut it, D dealt it, etc. Of course, when you get to the end of the alphabet it becomes rather difficult to finish, so the standard version said "X, Y, Z and per se and, each had a little piece in their hand". The & sign was added to round off the rhyme (not unlike the lines "Now I know my ABC, next time won't you sing with me?" in the most popular contemporary alphabet song) and the common slurring of the end of the rhyme when spoken quickly or when recited by unlearned people gave rise to the folk usage "ampersand".

If Bad a$$ was one word, then kick a@@ would be one word as well. That said, it's two words. Since it's not a word you'll find in the dictionary, you can spin it how ever you like. Both are exceptable.

It stands for the logical and operator. (As opposed to the binary and operator, which is written with a single &.)
