Everyone has their breaking pointussy that makes them say, Enough internet for me today!
After watching, I closed the app, went outside, and touched grass.
(Its a Jetway, by the way.)

Bussy is bustin out all over social media.
From Andrew Garfields Spadussy toTrader Joes Citrusy spices, whole chunks of the internet are being -ussified.

On the other hand, much -ussification seems like a deliberate attempt to destabilize English as a whole.
-ussy could indicate the femaled/feminized/femme or the masculined/masculinized/ butch, depending on context, said Leap.
Instead of being a wholly gendered category, being a gorgeous gorgeous girl is a marker of kinship.
Or asone TikToker put it, The girls who girl, girl.
The girls who girlnt, gornt.
