If you are bossing the situation, you are running it. You are in control of what's going on. You do not follow, you lead the herd.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

When you and your friends are visting an area and you have considerable numbers to control the said area, for example about 3 people for a small village or about 20 for a large town.

When a subject employs a movement or action and does it in a very boss like manner, the verb can be substituted for the word 'bossing'.

“Bossing” derives from the consumption of an obscene amount of alcohol (usually 7-8 shots) consumed in one oversized shot glass. The intention of the action can be two-fold: One being the annihilation of any disturbing memories inflicted upon the individual by “The Boss,” any other person who has authority over the individual; the other being to easily facilitate the catching up the alcohol content of an individual who arrives tardy to a party.
