Word of the Day for Friday, May 22, 2009buss \BUS\, noun, verb: 1. A kiss; a playful kiss; a smack. Lucky guesser gets a buss upon his plucky kisser. Exchange a random peace greeting during Mass with a stranger in the next pew and the odds are roughly one in fifty that you shake the hand or buss the cheek of a parishioner who has had at least one marriage voided by a diocesan tribunal. Buss is probably from Old English basse, from Latin basium, "kiss." | |||||||
