atta babe

A phrase used to indicate respect for impressive or otherwise noteworthy actions. These actions can be either positive or negative, but ultimately deserve the sort of reverence that only this term can convey. Often used between bros, this phrase is thought to have originated in Boston, but has since grown, and has been known to pop up in places as far-flung as Montreal and Vancouver.

Attababe 

A variation of the slang "Attaboy" except instead of the boy, it is babe. All in all, attababe means that's a good babe. It is a patronizing word showing good work, perceived ownership, etc. Used among friends.

(After Don hits the homerun)
Dick: Attababe, Don, that's how we do it.

Attababe 

Also atta babe.
Portmanteau(ish) of "Thata babe!", which came from "Thata girl/boy!" which itself is probably an abbreviation of "That's a good girl/boy"!

Can be seen as patronizing by some, but is usually seen as an exclamation of encouragement and/or a compliment of one's behavior or achievement, offered either to one's significant-other or close (typically female but isn't necessarily gender specific) friend.

(After his girlfriend cracks open a long neck bottle with her teeth)
"Attababe!"
