Boss Baby

Suited corporate toddler

Boss Baby is a 2017 animated film featuring an infant in a business suit, and by extension, any baby or toddler who seems unusually commanding or self-possessed.

The phrase captures the comic incongruity of adult authority in infant form: My nephew acts like such a boss baby, demanding his bottle like he's running a boardroom.
