Tagged but not listed. Actually has four citations now, but (a) three use bussin without the apostrophe, so if that's the main form, the lemma should be there, and (b) an IP disputes whether the definition is "delicious" or, more generally, "good". While I have your attention, if anyone can work out what verb (bussing? busting? bustling?) is intended by the citations at Citations:bussin', all the better. - -sche (discuss) 03:02, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- I suspect that if it simply means ‘delicious’ it may come from the idea it is ‘bursting with flavour’. If it’s used more generally it remind me of the West Midlands (actually only part of the West Midlands: namely, most of the county of the West Midlands (especially the Black Country) and Staffordshire; not Coventry, Warwickshire, etc.) dialect term bostin, in which case it may be more closely related to ‘bust’ (I find the suggested alternative etymology ‘boast’ doubtful.).
