This is a word I've only started using recently. It came about one night when my husband got home from work and complimented the blog.
Him: Dude, so sick that you started your blog up again.
Me: You like it?
Him: It's hilarious.
Me: Awesome.
Him: Yeah, pretty boss.
Me: (pause) Boss-some?
Him: 100%
You see, the urban dictionary defines "boss" as: Cool. Awesome. Someone who runs sh@! in his/her hood or city.
And the regular ol' dictionary defines "awesome" as: Slang. Very impressive.
So the Awhit dictionary marries the two at moments when both of those definitions are incredibly and powerfully true.
Boss + Awesome = Bossome
(Note: don't let your computer or phone auto-correct the spelling. Bossome, not to be confused with Bosom. While a bosom could possibly be described as bossome, the reverse cannot be true.)
Comment below. Your thoughts on this new word? Any recent moments that could wholeheartedly be called bossome?

Merle and Chris whole-heartedly endorse the use of "bossome". Although, he would argue he endorsed it first, I'm calling it a draw.
To truly give this weight, Chris must go back into the archives of his soul where "boss" was first introduced into his vernacular. Boss, the hardest female mc=Born gangsta. A gangsta blog like this?=Awesome! Awhit uppin' her street cred?=Bossome.
The bottom line? Copyright that noise before it can be used by former Florida prison guards, yo!
Love you.
