When my teen calls someone "cuzz" what does he mean?)

Answer by  patti (29325)

"Cuz" or "cuzz" is short for "cousin" and can be a reference to cousins, friends, homies. The term is also used by crips for gangbanging purposes.

Answer by  Hundchen (107)

"Cuzz" is an abbreviated term of affection arising from "cousin." Although it is used in many English-speaking regions and by members of different social strata, it is often used by young people trying to emulate Crips gang members, who are said to favor the term.

Generally speaking, calling someone "cuz" is the equivalent of calling someone "cousin." It does not literally mean that they are cousins, but is rather another way of referring to one's friends.
