Is there a Chinese equivalent of the colloquial English term, "like a boss?" Not an literal translation but an equivalent thereof.

  • It's quite possible that there is no "Chinese way" that matches this Internet meme. Though some people use 老大 instead of 老板.

The closest I can think of is:

霸氣外露 (bà qì wài lù)

Or

霸气侧露 Bàqì cè lù

It is a proverb but nowadays commonly used as a slang

  • 霸气侧露 霸氣側露 Bàqì cè lù

"大大" or "大神" is the slang which means the people is the master like a god.

  • I think calling someone "大大" is for showing the respect.

If you don't mind carrying some informal words and be really "native", you can say

"吊diao爆了"。

The word 吊 is a little "obscene" as it refers some male reproductive organ but it's pretty commonly used on internet.

Literally translated: "It's so big that it looks like it's gonna explode."

It actually means:"That's so cool, like a boss!"

  • That is not just "obscene", it's totally swear. Aug 26, 2015 at 7:57
