Hello sun74,
full of beams I guess today?
hum...'bossi'
, it sounds Italian, doesn't it?You may have mispelled the word for I know that you can add -ie, at the end of some words to make them sound more sarcastic or tender:
ex: "Ok, ok, I'll do it, Mister Bossie!" (C'est bon, j'ai compris je vais le faire Monsieur le Boss!)
"Steady horsie.." (Du calme gentil petit cheval)
"She's cuttie, she is!" (Elle est vraiment mignonne à croquer!)
If you did spell the word correctly, then I'm out of line!!! sorry!

Bossi or bossy ?
Bossy : a person who’s domineering or fond of giving people orders. In slang, that’s an adjective from "boss", meaning "master".

Hello sun
Bossi is wrong. so we say bossy.
bossy: adjective disapproving
describes someone who is always telling people what to do.
autoritaire, tyrannique
Ex: she's very bossy :elle mène tout le monde à la baguette/ c'est un vrai gendarme *
