... a pleasant memory (although you did so inadvertently, I'm sure).

When I was in HS in NY back in the '60s, we used the word "boss" as a euphemism for "cool"; e.g. "Those new boots are so boss," or, "That cute guy in English class is totally boss!"

If someone or something was the epitome of "boss", they were referred to as "boss-A".

We even had a very young and enlightened American History teacher who made us write an essay on "Why the Constitution makes the US a Boss-A Country".

So when I read "Hillary Clinton is Boss!", my first thought was yeah, she is - actually, I'd say she's Boss-A!
