Originally a word for kiss ... but has since been smothered, warped, and twisted by today'
s general sex-crazed Western
society to mean several ridiculous, perverted sexual meanings...just like most of all the English words.
The word is buss, and it means 'to touch with the lips' - not necessarily against someone'
s mouth - to express love, affection or greeting. Can be used in certain moments when a kiss is just too
awkward or unnecessarily full-on; or when a friendly nuzzle with the nose just doesn't convey enough meaning.
1. He expressed his concern with a gentle buss on her shoulder
2. At the party, she had no intention of succumbing to peer pressure, and so a quick buss on her friend'
s cheek was all the action they would witness.
3. "We'll be okay," he whispered as their house burned down. He felt too saddened to give her a
kiss, and so instead risked giving her a guilty buss on the cheek, hoping she wouldn't find out he'd left the
stove on.
