British MLE (Multicultural London English) street slang for heroin. The term circulates primarily in inner-city London youth culture and grime-adjacent communities. Like much MLE vocabulary, it draws on a mix of South Asian, Caribbean, and local London influences, functioning as coded language that keeps conversations opaque to outsiders or law enforcement. Used as both a noun and occasionally a verb in informal speech.

The boys said they clocked someone on the estate moving bujj round the back of the shops.
Origin: Documented in MLE (Multicultural London English) lexicons; exact origin is unclear but consistent with the phonetic pattern of South Asian-influenced London slang. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora (model-assisted, hedged).

(MLE, slang) heroin.

For parents

Bujj means: heroin.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. It has drug-related associations; worth a calm conversation about which side of the topic your teen is on. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

bujj means: heroin.. Register: very informal, often derogatory or vulgar. Avoid in formal, business, academic, or polite writing. Even in casual speech the word can offend and is best left out of a learner's active vocabulary. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

Cluster: drugs
