bardacious (= bodacious??)

[Mullins, Bill AMRDEC]

OED does not list bardacious, and has 1976 for this sense of bodacious.

"A DICTIONARY OF SLANG WORDS and phrases is being complied by the WPA
Federal Writers' Project, and they want help. . . . From Harlem come
words like "bardacious" (marvelous)."
