lend of glow up (a marked positive transformation in appearance or quality) and bussin (slang: excellent, delicious). Coined by Professor Sendy, 2026. The headword fuses the two roots into a single adjective describing the result of a transformation, the "glow-up" supplying the before-and-after arc and "bussin" the emphatic verdict of approval at the end. Extended by Sendy into the noun GLUSSINADO (glussin + tornado, suggesting a sweeping, whirlwind transformation) and the verb GLUSSINADOMAXXING (glussinado + the intensifying suffix -maxx, after looksmaxxing), denoting the active, deliberate pursuit of such a turnaround.
