Bussin
Extremely good or delicious — most often said about food ('this is bussin').
Definition
Bussin means something is extremely good, especially food — as in 'this pizza is bussin' or the intensified 'bussin bussin.' It can also praise non-food things (music, fits, vibes) as fire or impressive. The term comes from African American Vernacular English and went mainstream through TikTok food and mukbang culture in the early 2020s.
History
AAVE slang meaning excellent or delicious. Viral food-review and mukbang content on TikTok pushed it into wider Gen Z vocabulary in the early 2020s.
