FOSS is an acroymn which refers to Free and Open Source Software. A term nessicary to describe two releated entities, yet different and seperate in some important philosophies.
This acroymn has its origins when the Free Software Foundation proclaimed their GNU General Public License as not actually open source, even though it is considered an open source liscense and is compliant with the Open Source Definition as described by the Open Source Initiative.

The FOSS communities are related, and differ only in extreamly judgemental geek lexicon and proclamations.

A general state of feeling like the boss. It is not referring to being at work. It is more of a state of power, a temporary feeling. You are the shit for a minute. Used as an adjective to describe a feeling.
You must feel so foss with that new car man.
