Word revival-- "Boss"

I dont think I was around the first time 'boss' became main stream. And that is a real shame. I think I am going to have to start using the word a great deal more.

Like, "hey, that neck tattoo is boss." [however, this does not mean that boss should exclusively be used in conjunction with sarcasm...as it was in the above reference]

Boss has nothing to do with Boss Hogg...yet. Boss Hogg was always sporting a white three piece suit and eating fried chicken. While fried chicken and caddy with longhorns on the front is the embodiment of Hazzard County, the white three piece suit just doesnt seem necessary. The only people that wore suits in Hazzard County were the sophisticated criminals (that werent quite sophisticated enought) or the FEDS...tracking the sophisticated criminals. Either way...you wear a suit in Hazzard County, you are going to get upstaged by the Duke boys saving the day.

You can almost hear Waylon saying that last sentence.

Just a few of Waylon's gems:

"There was ol' Cooter, stickin' out like a bourbon bottle at a country revival."

"Luke's plan was workin' like a two dollar watch."

Waylon, the Dukes and '69 Dodge Chargers are all Boss.
