Whenever we ge a new client or he introduces me to someone, he says, "he da BOMB-DIZZLE"! I take it as a compliment but it is kind of embarrassing. What can I do?

Tell him the next time he says it, "This bomb is going to explode."

It's often uncomfortable letting someone know when they're doing something that bugs you. But wouldn't you want someone else to let you know if you happened to (innocently) constantly embarrass them? Give your boss that same respect. The key is in how you do it. Often, it is in the heat of the moment and it has built up and we blurt out something like "look, I hate it when you say that!". That kind of response is sure to go sour. So put some thought into it and find a time that is more comfortable to have this discussion. Focus not on your boss, but on the expression. "Tim, there's something I've wanted to talk to you about, and I'm a bit uncomformable with it. I take it as a complement when you introduce me to new clients as da BOMB-DIZZLE and at the sime time it embarrasses me. Could we look at another way to do these introductions? I'd really appreciate it." Your boss SHOULD appreciate that kind of honest feedback. Best of luck.

Maybe try to give him another phrase that you prefer. But note that he thinks he's being hip or cool (if those are even current terms). He's at least trying, so help him out a bit.
