This is a slang expression of recent origin and is normally used to talk about a person or a thing. When you refer to an individual as being `da bomb’ or `the bomb’ what you mean is that he/she is outstanding. The expression is mostly used in American English.
*You should see the movie. I tell you, it is da bomb. *You are taking a course with Jai? I am told when it comes to teaching, he is da bomb.
