Bussin (adjective / US Slang)
(Also heard as: Bussin’, Bussin bussin)
Definition:
Extremely good, most often used for food. If a meal is bussin, it tastes incredible.
Where It Comes From:
It comes from African American Vernacular English and spread around the world through social media food reviews, especially on TikTok. It has since turned up on most-searched slang lists, including South Africa’s in 2026, which shows how far it has travelled.
How People Actually Use It:
Said about meals, snacks and drinks, and sometimes about songs or outfits. It is often repeated for emphasis, as in “bussin bussin”. Because it is so tied to food, it can sound a bit odd if you use it for something that cannot be eaten.

- “This pizza is bussin.”
Meaning: The pizza tastes amazing.
- “Mum’s Sunday roast is bussin every single time.”
Meaning: Her roast dinner is always delicious.
