"The American Dialect Society (ADS) has selected the suffix “-ussy” as its 2022 Word of the Year, after a TikTok trend popularized adding the end of the word “pussy” to basically any other word.
“The selection of the suffix -ussy highlights how creativity in new word formation has been embraced online in venues like TikTok,” said the chair of ADS’s New Words Committee Ben Zimmer. “The playful suffix builds off the word pussy to generate new slang terms. The process has been so productive lately on social media sites and elsewhere that it has been dubbed -ussification.”
The trend reportedly began based on a word long used by queer men – “bussy,” a portmanteau of “boy” and “pussy” that refers to a man’s anus. Throughout 2022, TikTokers began adding the suffix to, well, everything. Last January, a Vulture explainer called it the “-ussification of language.”
