No, but you must be happy! ? You must no longer carry it to the ground! ? The boss of smooches has entered the dictionary!
Earlier this week, Little Robert revealed the 150 new words that will be part of the 2025 edition of his famous work. In this list, we find climaticide, overtourism, decolonialism, stalker, tiktoker, foam, ecodesign, bigorexia, baraki, chiclets, to drink, walking bus, sapiosexual And… boss of kisses.
Little Robert defines the snog boss as: “a person who demonstrates pretentious authority”.
Yeah… That’s not bad. But not quite. Let’s be specific. After all, it’s the dictionary. First, I remind you what the word pretentious means, because he made his entry into the Robert there’s already a damned end. Pretentious: “who displays pretension, who is too satisfied with his merits”. Think about it. It’s not just the boss of the snogs who demonstrates a pretentious authority, an authority that is too satisfied with its merits.
Elon Musk is anything but a snog boss. He is a great boss. A super big boss. But we can say that he displays a pretentious authority. In his numerous interventions on seven-up flat. (This last expression should enter the dictionary in 2027.)
Pierre Elliott Trudeau sometimes demonstrated a pretentious authority. No more madness. Fuddle duddle. Just Watch Me. We cannot say that his replies were imbued with modesty.
But Pierre Elliot Trudeau was not a boss of snippets, far from it, he was the Prime Minister of Canada, the second country in the world in terms of surface area, we are far from the size of a snippet.
If showing pretentious authority is not the monopoly of the boss of the snogs, we can only define it by this definition.
Let’s think. When do you call someone a boss boss? When someone tells us what to do and it’s none of their business. The first time I heard the expression boss of the kisses, it came from the mouth of my grandmother. I told her not to take out her dentures when she was babysitting me. She replied to me: “You, my little boss boss, you won’t tell me what to do!” »
Even though it was the first time I’d heard that, boss of smooches, she didn’t need to explain to me what it meant. Although I was only 5 years old, I understood, it was clear: a little child is not his grandmother’s boss. Quite the contrary. At least, it was back then.
Being the boss of the bitches means being the boss of a really unimportant department. You will tell me that I am erring, by treating the snogs as an unimportant place, when we know to what extent the issue of the number of snogs in our schools concerns our decision-makers. You’re not wrong, but it’s complicated enough as it is. I’m already splitting hairs this morning, not to mention another expression revolving around flies, don’t add any more, please.
I continue. I quickly adopted my grandmother’s formula, and every time someone got on my nerves by telling me what to do, I called them a boss boss. Verbally or in my head.
That’s a good tip to know if someone is truly a boss of smooches or not. If you call him a snog boss without incurring any disadvantage, he really is a snog boss. If you get suspended for calling him a snog boss, he’s definitely a little more than a snog boss. He is your boss.
Conclusion: a boss boss is a person who grants himself more power than he actually has. This is the correct wording.
That said, if Little Robert decided to define it differently, it is his right.
Who am I to tell Little Robert what to write in your dictionary? A boss of kisses! This is called proving by example.
Grandma was right.
