Subject: Has "the bomb" come back into slang usage?

Written By: Mat1991 on 03/18/12 at 3:35 am

Presently, I'm noticing more people using the slang term, "the bomb." It must be coming back into popularity. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?

I actually have too, and not just occasionally either. At first I was thinking huh? Da bomb? Where's that coming from, that's so 1996! but I think it was so commonplace or at least in the culture for years afterwards that people never really forgot about it.
