bussin

What it means

Used to describe food that tastes incredibly good — delicious to the point of being remarkable. Occasionally stretched to mean anything that's excellent, though it's most at home talking about a meal.

Examples

• Grandma's mac and cheese is straight up bussin.
• Try the tacos at that new spot, they're bussin fr.
• This playlist is bussin, who made it?
• I wasn't expecting much but that ramen was bussin bussin.

Where it comes from

Comes from AAVE, where 'bussin' has long described food that's especially tasty. It blew up on TikTok around 2020–2021, partly through food creators and the much-memed phrase 'bussin bussin.'
