What does Bossy really mean?

"Bossy" is a word we use to describe someone who likes to tell other people what to do all the time. Think of a bossy person as someone who is always trying to be in charge and always has to have things done their way. They might not listen to other people's ideas or try to control everything. It's like if you and your friends were playing a game, and one friend kept telling everyone what to do and wouldn't let anyone else make decisions. That friend would be acting bossy. It's not fun when someone is always bossing you around, right?

Another way we use the word "bossy" is to describe something that is overpowering or dominant, like if a sound is so loud that it's drowning out all other noises. If a plant in a garden is growing so big that it's taking over and not letting any other plants grow, we might say that the plant is being bossy. It's like something is trying to be in charge and not letting anything else have a chance.
