A phrase, which much like Courtney Love, was only popular during the early nineties. At the time, it meant "exceptionally
cool".
The coolness of "the
bomb" goes down another proverbial notch, when it is referred to as "DA
bomb".
"Dude that
party last night was da
bomb!"
"Get the fuck outta my house! Who do you think you are saying "da
bomb" in my place?"
"But, dude!"
"No fuckin' exceptions. Get out, you're not Courtney Love"
