    the bomb

    A phrase, which much like Courtney Love, was only popular during the early nineties. At the time, it meant "exceptionally cool".

    The coolness of "the bomb" goes down another proverbial notch, when it is referred to as "DA bomb".

    "Dude that party last night was da bomb!"

    "Get the fuck outta my house! Who do you think you are saying "da bomb" in my place?"

    "But, dude!"

    "No fuckin' exceptions. Get out, you're not Courtney Love"
