hey boss

A common greeting among New Yorkers that is usually used in small shops, bars, halal carts, and clubs.

It is most effective as a subdued form of respect, especially when speaking with low-ego creatures like bouncers.

Pronounced "baws."

Customer: Hey boss, run me a baconeggandcheese and a coffee, regular.
Cashier: OK my friend, $4.5.

Clubgoer: Hey boss, how you doin' tonight?

Bouncer: .... Zero response, but internal validation gained
