"Like a boss" – stupid saying.

Where has this come from? It’s almost as pervasive as “oh my days” but more annoying as it’s pseudo-aggressive.

If being ‘like a boss’ is being anything like my boss it’s clearly not a boast.

I think this answers all of your questions but may not be safe for work. Like a boss.

Lonely Island music video, “like a boss”

Most amusing, look it up.

which is a parody of this

I had thought it comes from the “boss” one has to defeat in order to advance another level in those frightful video games that people play.

OP displays lack of awareness on popular culture …….

….LIKE A BOSS

Ah, but what is that a parody of?

It’s one of the things my 12 year old says. I imagine it would sound pretty damn stupid coming out of an adult’s mouth.
As would “M’name’s Jeff” that all the boys were saying at rugby yesterday! (From 21 Jump St, I believe) 😆

Ah, but what is that a parody of?

Its not. The Slim Thug track was just what it was. But its the parody of the track that made it a turn of phrase. When people say it they’re referring to the parody rather than the original track

and no more stupid than the stupid things we used to say as kids: “George huh?” (you did didn’t you?) and “chinny reckon” etc etc etc etc

I used “chinny reckon” recently! Just brilliant as people don’t expect anyone to say it nowadays. 😀

It’s better than ‘Thug’
Although this is amazing

Bet they think you’re a dinlo robdob 🙂

I understand none of this. (Passes ipad to 13 year old son.)

Although this is amazing

He smashed it!

It’s Jack Nicklaus.He objects to the other golfist wanting to chip from the green….and it’s HIS course.

I’m so full of stoke reading this thread. It makes me want to get out and shred brown pow to the raddest extreme of gnar.

Word.

I still can’t cope with “sick”. A lot of very ill kids around jumps is what it means to me.
