LORE & ORIGIN
African American Vernacular English (AAVE) that entered widespread internet vocabulary around 2020-2021 primarily through food TikToks, where creators tasting dishes would react with 'it's bussin, no cap.' The word spread far beyond food content but retains its strongest association with eating.
