Hungarian

Etymology

Clipping and -i diminutive of Hungarian buzeráns, from German Buserant with Hungarian -áns ending, compare also Czech buzerant; from Venetan buzerar (to practise sodomy), from Italian bugero (sodomite, formerly “heretic”, even formerly “Bulgar” (q.v.), referring to heretics—possibly Bogomils—spread from the Balkan, believed to practise sodomy). See also the etymologies of French bouguer, Swedish bög and English bugger.[1][2]

Pronunciation

Noun

buzi (plural buzik)

  1. (derogatory) fag (male homosexual)
    Synonyms: (PC) meleg, (medicalizing; dated) homoszexuális
  2. (slang, as second element in certain compounds) a buff, freak, nut, geek (a person wildly enthusiastic about something)

Usage notes

Though still an offensive term, some activists[3] consciously use it as a self-identifier so that its offensive overtone should gradually wear off (similarly to English queer). Like many other terms considered taboo, it has an abundance of vulgar synonyms, applied with disparaging intent (homokos, köcsög, homó, langyos, homár, ratyi etc., comparable to English faggot and poofter).
