The term 'bussin' originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) to describe food that is exceptionally delicious, but it became a global internet phenomenon through TikTok in late 2020 and 2021. It is most famously associated with creators who dramatically react to tasting food, often questioning if a dish is truly 'bussin' or just 'respectfully' good. The meme has since evolved into a versatile reaction template to describe anything high-quality, impressive, or satisfying. On the internet, using this template serves as the ultimate seal of approval for everything from home-cooked snacks to viral life hacks, usually accompanied by an image of someone in a state of pure culinary bliss.
