This word came from the Dutch word baas, meaning "master." But early americans didn’t like using master - it was too aristocratic to survive as a general term. So they started using "baas" in the late 18th century. It caught on (against the objections of some word snobs) and eventually became "boss."
"That's totally boss!" as in "That's cool!"
Scouse slang for cool or excellent.
