Possible missing verb sense edit
In the episode Boxing Daria of MTV's cartoon Daria, there seems to be another slang sense of this word, meaning "annoy someone, get on someone's nerves". See transcript below. Equinox ◑ 15:41, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- Jane: I'm not quite getting this. You ran off because of a fight your parents had 11 years ago?
Daria: It's not the fight. It's the sudden realization that all these years, when I thought they were torturing me, in reality I was the one torturing them.
Jane: First of all, I don't think it's either-or. From where I'm sitting, you and your folks have done a great job of torturing each other. And second of all, you mean to tell me you don't know when you're busting them?
Daria: Yes, I know when I'm busting them. What I didn't realize is what a pain I've been when I thought I was just being me.
