Definition of bussin', bussin ?

Though it sounds like something a bus might do, “bussin’” refers to food—or experiences—so good they bypass the rational brain and go straight to the reward center. The term is most strongly associated with African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) and exploded on TikTok in the early 2020s, often accompanied by overly dramatic reactions and food reviews filmed under questionable lighting. To call something “bussin’” is to say it’s exceptional, indulgent, and probably unhealthy in all the best ways. Think: the culinary equivalent of a standing ovation.

“This ramen is bussin’—I might cry.”
