    At some point my father started calling 'Bus -> Bussi" and “Busse -> Bussies” which translates to “kiss/kissing”
    We also have Kuss it german and Bussi is more of another fun word for kiss

        Beso is kiss in spanish, and basiatio in Latin. Farsi, German, Latin, and Spanish all fall under the Indo-European language family, so it isn’t far-fetched that these words would all have a common root.
