Lil Nas X Wants 'Bussy' Added to the Dictionary For Pride Month

Pride Month 2022 is all about the bussy!

That's the message Grammy-winning artist Lil Nas X is sending, at least, and we are on board 100 percent! Over the weekend, the "Industry Baby" rapper and singer tweeted that "for Pride Month it's really important that our government finally takes a stand and adds bussy to the dictionary." We couldn't agree more!

Now, Dictionary.com has decided to step up and be a true ally, replying "we added WAP to the dictionary, so anything's possible." Happy Pride indeed!!!

If you're not familiar, "bussy" is a portmanteau of the words "boy" and "p*ssy" used to describe the anus. The first time the word was used online goes way back to 2007 where an Urban Dictionary user uploaded the definition "Slang term used by gay men to connote Boy-P*ssy. In reference to their anus. Bussy has been used for at least 15 years by gay men to describe their man hole of love!"

While the phrase has been popular in gay and trans communities for years, it reached widespread audiences in 2019 when Taron Egerton did a video for BuzzFeed entitled "Taron Egerton Reads Thirst Tweets."

One of the tweets he read in the video said "Taron Egerton is a white boy that I trust to destroy my bussy." After he read it, Egerton asked, "What does that mean?"

Now the word has become so ubiquitous that cis, straight people are misusing it. But don't worry, Lil Nas X is here to save us and make sure the word is used correctly. He even uses the word in an upcoming song.

There are still about two weeks left in Pride Month, so that's plenty of time for the dictionary to officially add bussy.
