"I saw a viral TikTok by user Crazy Life Of Ash about her first trip to Buc-ee’s in which she repeatedly mispronounced the name to rhyme with actor Garey Busey’s last name, prompting numerous commenters to correct non‑Texans; the clip follows other memes that have led people to say “bussy’s,” a term with NSFW usage. Described as a gas station‑on‑steroids, it sells everything from t‑shirts and beef jerky to kitschy gifts like magnets and statuettes, and I noticed the ubiquitous parking‑lot grackles that seem to 'greet you at the door.' It’s a frequent pit stop for road‑tripping Texans thanks to its ultra‑clean bathrooms, and the proper pronunciation is like 'Bucky’s.'" - Adele Chapin
