What Do 'Huzz,' 'Bruzz' And 'Gruzz' Mean? The 'Uzz' Slang Words On TikTok And Their Meanings Explained

TikTok has been hit with a new slew of slang words that all end in "-uzz." There's "huzz" (the original) and "bruzz" (the disciple). Now there's more like "gruzz" as the list becomes increasingly incomprehensible.

"Huzz" and "bruzz" have combined in memes, covering that one guy's For You page. The brainrot slang has a short but interesting history and many people online are joking about witnessing the creation of these terms. But did they actually?

How old are these words really and what do they mean? Why are they flooding TikTok all of a sudden? Let's explain.

What Does 'Huzz' Mean?

"Huzz" is a different, stylized way of saying "hoes," meaning a group of women. Calling some girls "the huzz" is often delegated to a party or any setting where women to flirt with or pursue will be.

For instance, think of the phrase, "Where the hoes at?" which is said to hopefully counteract a sausage fest. To use "huzz" instead, just say, "Where the huzz at?"

Where Did 'Huzz' Come From?

Like many so-called "brainrot" terms, "huzz" comes from African-American vernacular English (AAVE) and was popularized by Black influencers, content creators and streamers, similar to how "rizz" and "gyatt" rose to prominence in 2022.

In tune with this, Twitch streamer Kai Cenat began saying "huzz" during his streams, leading to usage from his Gen Z fans at large. After his first viral use of the term in February 2023, the word was added to Urban Dictionary.

What Does 'Bruzz' Mean?

Like "huzz," "bruzz" is also just a stylized spelling of a different plural word. "Bruzz" means "bros," as in, a group of close male friends.

So, now when someone says, "The bruzz need some huzz," you know what they're saying.

Where Did 'Bruzz' Come From?

Unlike "huzz," the Urban Dictionary definition for "bruzz" actually dates back to 2008 when a user defined it as, "A really cool word that is used to talk to your friends." Even though it's vague, their example sentence, reading, "Hey bruzz, how are you?" shows that they are in fact talking about "bros."

However, when Huzz memes began going viral on TikTok this year, some internet users believed they had witnessed the invention of "bruzz." From "huzz," it was a logical progression and the first meme creators to use "bruzz" appear to be the victims of some good old-fashioned parallel thinking.

How Are 'Huzz,' 'Bruzz' And Other 'Uzz' Words Used In Memes?

The onslaught of "-uzz" words appearing on TikTok falls under the category of slang overload in which similar words are compounded into a single post to create a nauseating effect to parody chronically online behavior.

Of course, this circles back to the sludge of "brainrot" terms over the past year, like memes that include the trifecta of Ohio, rizz, and gyatt.

The repeated use and mutation of these "-uzz" words mirror what the masses did to "rizz" back in 2023. There was a time when every word or phrase became a rizz-based pun, spawning the "Rizz Dictionary" as we know it.

It's also, of course, similar to the suffix "-ussy," which we all know by now. If you don't just add a "P" to the front. Back in the late 2010s, every word seemed to have an "ussy" like "bussy" and "thussy" just to name a few, lewd ones.
