                      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

                        The devil is in the detail..

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

                            I think it is like "BOOM!" yeah

                                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.
