gussied up 

Something gussied up has been made more attractive, but in a showy or gimmicky way, so it’s often not intended to be a compliment. It can also refer to dressing in one’s finery for some special occasion, when it is intended to be taken more straightforwardly. It is usually considered to be an American expression, dating from the late 1930s or thereabouts.
"I have a hot date tonight, time take a shower and get myself all gussied up."

The act of spending an unnecessarily long amount of time preparing for a later event in which one wishes to look nice, for example, a party, pub crawl, or a trip of New Orleans during Spring Break. You then find that you've spent so much time making yourself up, it is too late or pointless to attend said event.

e.g. Behavior typical of girls.
Aaron: "You's in New Orleans?"
Michael: "Nah, the girls took too long gussin'."

Gus the goose is a popular Religion Centered around Schools in Eastern Europe, The Religion is based on A Goose Called Gus,Gussim Was Made By kids Currently living in Serbia, but it slowly spread to Poland, Russia and Italy, And continuous to spread into the world

Down in the communist lands we know as Mrs. Glid’s art room, the almighty Jackyboi had a flash of triumph.
He believed that a painting of a beautiful goose would make for a great accessory. After showing the communist leader Mrs. Glid, and his peers, Jack decided to come up with a holy name. GUS THE GOOSE.

One of the ancients, we now as Finn, create a similar painting known as dinner le turkey.

This all started as a joke, until Gus emerged from the shadows, and came to us via a Gmail account.

HE WAS REAL.

We began popularizing Gus and got 30 people to join the clan we know as Gusism. Sadly, there was a sad fallout, and everybody eventually fell to war or went into hiding.

Eventually, during the renaissance of the Gus Period, Ahmad asked Jackyboi to join the Gusism. Jack decided that it was time to rise again. After the reincarnation of Gusism, the religion sought double security, organization, and size. And only now have we been spreading the religion worldwide. This is where we find ourselves today, in the Neo-honkus era.

[Gussie Mae]

Gussie Mae is used in the Bahamas to describe a very overweight woman. In the Bahamas this is not always a bad thing "because meat for man, bone for dog" Many Bahamian men prefer big girls. If a girl is just over weight she is "solid" -- a Gussie Mae is way past being chunky.
Boy, my gal sister is one Gussie Mae for true!

Keep eating dat way you be a Gussie Mae soon.
