Can an a friend explain the appropriate uses of the word… “BOSH!” ???

Many thanks. Been hearing this one a lot and sounds like the American version of “boom” or “oh yeah”.

@Fadez Urban Dictionary definition that I find most fitting is "English slang to describe the occurrence of something".

Boom not far off to be fair

[nurunuru]

Typically follows Thomas Skinner pouring gravy over his meal whilst delivering a monologue and maintaining unflinching eye contact. In this scenario, it would be preceded by "a-".

@Fadez

I think it was "Big John" (don't confuse him with the denim brand) that started it...

I think it is like "BOOM!" yeah

[Fadez]

Oh guys. Thank you so much. I am laughing so hard now Bosh!!!

In Russia, the authorities have come up with a new law. Now all signs and street advertising must be in Russian only. All English words are now illegal. I keep thinking of Japan. Why didn't they come up with the brilliant idea of ​​suffocating English words? Truly, as the saying goes: Woe from Wit!

SONY, Panasonic, TOYOTA, Iron Heart, The Flat Head, and so on. Apparently, Japan hasn't yet reached the level of brilliant ideas.
