This comment is the closest I’ve come to understanding the problem, can you be more explicit about why bussy is a thing?
Is it because pussy? But the bum? I’m so confused.

Its gay slang; bussy = boy pussy

there’s always the possibility the one queer person just pretended not to see and let it happen because it’s funny. but the way to prevent this is to hire at least two queer people, then once you see them giggling to each other after the meeting you’ll know something is up
