    I always considered "you da man" to be an Ebonic phrase.

    So much slang in America, even I don't always get it.

    It used to be, but then it snaked its way into the mainstream and became horribly annoying. And eventually went out of date. The latest mainstream "Ebonics" phrase is "you got served", I think.

    Great. Thank you all for explanations.

    English is so rich I wonder if someone knows at least half of its treasure.
