Talk:-ussy

Revert of IP edit
I'm on mobile and I was mistaken in thinking that rollbacking an edit would prompt me for an edit summary - Just to be clear, this edit was performed because the IP's change was WP:OR. The source uses the word "baristaussy". AviationFreak💬 06:01, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

No definition?
The article doesn't provide a definition. Should one be added to the introduction, i.e. how -ism is defined? I'd edit it myself, but I frankly can't find a reliable source that outwardly defines the "-ussy". Avoyt (talk) 23:09, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * A definition of sorts is available in the "History" section: "This ‑ussification has been used to reference objects' cavities (e.g., a donut's donutussy) as well as in a more metaphorical sense that denotes effort one can put into a role (a barista putting their 'whole baristaussy' into latte art)." As Wikipedia is not a dictionary, the article generally should focus more on the encyclopedic aspects (i.e., usage, as is described in the quote above) of the word (or affix, in this case).

"Pizzussy" disputed
Pinging - Per the usage notes on POV statement and the fact that the term "pizzussy" is cited to Vulture, I don't see by either the aforementioned tag or Original research would be applicable here. The source states it, no high-quality reliable source disputes it to my knowledge, and thus it is perfectly valid there. AviationFreak💬 21:58, 9 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Understood. Born25121642 (talk) 22:13, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

"Donutussy" should be changed to "Donussy".
"Donussy" is far more widely used so it should be the term used instead of "Donutussy". SnarkBuster (talk) 19:34, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The Inquirer source uses "donutussy" as an example, quoted from sociolinguist Kirby Conrod. Unless there is an opposing reliable source that indicates "donussy" as a more popular alternative, the article is likely to remain unchanged. AviationFreak💬 22:05, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Expand definition to "hole-shaped or yonic object"?
The article's calzone example, in my opinion, is not very hole-shaped, but it could be argued to be yonic. Therefore, "hole-shaped" on its own may not cover everything the -ussy suffix is applicable to. I'd make the edit myself, but it's after midnight and I don't trust my own judgment enough to proceed without peer approval.

(For those who lack the time or interest to look it up, yonic is to vagina as phallic is to penis: it basically means resembling a vulva.)
