Boss
의미: Impressive, commanding, or someone who handles things with authority and confidence.
Beyond its literal meaning of a supervisor, 'boss' in slang conveys admiration for someone who takes charge or does something impressively. 'Like a boss' became a popular intensifier meaning 'with supreme confidence.' Can be used as a noun, adjective, or part of the phrase 'boss move.'
