Let’s be real: you’ve heard the word “bussin” and either thought,
“Wow, this person really knows what’s good,”
or
“Did they just say ‘bussin’? Unironically?”
Either way, bussin is everywhere — especially on social media where people act like the word was born yesterday in a TikTok comment section under a hot wing video.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
So let’s unpack where it came from, why I dared to name my blog Bussin.blog, and whether I actually know what I’m doing (plot twist: I do).
What Does “Bussin” Allegedly Mean?
In today’s internet dictionary, “bussin” is that dramatic word people use when their taste buds are doing backflips.
You’ll hear it in sentences like:
“This sandwich? Bussin.”
“Grandma’s mac and cheese? BUSSIN-BUSSIN.”
Translation: it’s really good.
Like, so good, we had to invent a new word because “delicious” was just too boring, apparently.
Origin Story: No, TikTok Did Not Invent It
Contrary to what Gen Z influencers might tell you, “bussin” didn’t just descend from the heavens during the pandemic with whipped coffee and the Renegade dance.
The term comes from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and goes back at least to the early 2000s — if not earlier. People were calling food bussin long before social media decided it was cool.
It was used to describe:
- Food that makes you question your life choices (in a good way)
- Events that were actually lit
- And things that just… slapped. Before that was slang too.
So no, TikTok didn’t invent bussin. But thanks for playing.
So Why Did I Call My Blog Bussin.blog?
Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because naming it “StuffILikeToWriteAbout.com” didn’t hit the same?
I chose Bussin.blog because I wanted a name that says:
“Hey, this isn’t just some boring corner of the internet. This blog SLAPS.”
The word bussin has attitude.
It’s loud.
It’s playful.
It’s the verbal equivalent of a hot sauce bottle smashing through a flavorless existence.
Everything I write about — food, culture, travel, trends, whatever — is stuff that’s worth talking about. If it’s not bussin, it’s not on the blog. That’s the vibe.
What’s Actually On Bussin.blog?
You’ll find content that makes you go:
“Okay, fine, that is kinda fire.”
Or even better:
“Why didn’t I know about this sooner?”
Think:
- Underrated food spots
- Viral-worthy reviews
- Pop culture chaos
- Travel that doesn’t suck
- And occasional hot takes you didn’t ask for (but you’ll read anyway)
Basically, it’s a curated feed of what’s worth your eyeballs.
Wrapping It Up (Because You’ve Scrolled This Far)
In a world where blogs are named MinimalistaThoughts and TheWanderListChronicles, I went with Bussin.blog — because honestly, I’m not here to whisper.
I’m here to tell you what’s good. Loudly. With seasoning.
So yeah, the name might be slangy, a little ridiculous, and one step away from being shouted by a 14-year-old doing a mukbang — but hey, at least you’ll remember it.
Welcome to Bussin.blog. Let’s talk about the good stuff.
