Definitions
Walking in with full, unbothered confidence — leading with your statement piece and letting everyone deal with it. Bob made it literal, strutting the runway with a handmade purse thrust out front. It's become shorthand for arriving boldly and owning the room before you've said a word. Less an entrance, more a declaration.
