Like a boss

[Michael P Splonk]

I assume this came from those 80's games in like in tudor where you had to fight 'a boss' at the end of the level.

 

[Mick Lyons]

IT came from me.
I made it up yesterday.

 

[Rebelred]

It was first used in a lilt ad in the late 80's

 

[Ballsaq]

I believe it was a novelty hit penned by the band Mick Lyons and the Alts.

It was a catch phase from the 70s TV show Charlie's angels.

Often after beating a baddie or winning something they'd collectively remark - like a boss - which was an acronym for Brilliant Old Success Story.

I believe it was M. Lyons, Esquire, a light dragoon in Her Majesty's Household Brigade who, to wit, coined that particular phrase... like a boss.

Another little known fact is that Mick lyons and Ballsaq both signed up for the PROC on 24 dec 1976.
