Happy (early) Thanksgiving Y'all!
This week's Gen-Z Phrase of the Week:
|
Definition:
Used to describe exceptionally delicious
food (also applicable to other impressive
things)
|
Context:
The term "bussin" emerged from various
potential sources during the late 2010s,
including Chicago's rap culture and
variations of "busting" or "buss a
move." The word gained widespread
popularity through the viral "Gripping Food
With Force" social media trend in
2020. While initially (and still
primarily) used to describe exceptional
food, "bussin" now applies to anything
impressive, from fashion to
experiences. For added emphasis,
people often say "bussin bussin" or "bussin
fr fr" (for real, for real).

Fun Fact:
In 1386, a pig was executed in France.
In the Middle Ages, a pig attacked a child
who went to die later from their
wounds. The pig was arrested, kept in
prison, sent to court where it stood trial
for murder, was found guilty, and then
executed by hanging.
