Definitions

  1. To dress up or decorate in a showy way.

Word origin

First use appears c. 1952, apparently from Gussy (an adjective), schoolyard slang for “overly dressed” (1940); perhaps related to gussie (“an effeminate man”) (1901) and somehow connected to Gussie, the nickname for Augusta and Augustus.

Used in a sentence

  • Hope y'all want it when I'm old cause I'll still be needing my gussy ate
  • i know her gussy smells like roses
