Get the Attababe mug.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.
