-ussy

This article is about the English-language morpheme. For the French commune, see Ussy.

-ussy (/ˈʊsi/ UUS-ee) is an English-language morpheme derived from the word pussy used to create novel derived terms, implying resemblance to a vulva or vagina. Portmanteaus derived from pussy have existed in LGBTQ slang since the early 2000s, in the form bussy (boy pussy), but were popularized in the late 2010s and early 2020s on social media platforms including Tumblr and TikTok. In 2022, the American Dialect Society named -ussy their word of the year.
