Definition: To play music or entertain on the street for money.
[@more@]Usage: Please don't confuse today's word with brux "to clench or grind one's teeth." Walking by someone who busks badly might make you brux, but the two words are very different. Those who busk are buskers, noted for their busking.
Suggested Usage: Today's word can be used pejoratively, "I had no idea Donny busked as a mime during lunch hour, or I would bring him sandwiches in the public interest." But busking is, in fact, a proud tradition in many European cities, and some fine music can be heard on street corners and city centers across the continent: "Harry and Harriet busked their way across Europe and returned home with enough money left over to start their own nightclub."
Etymology: From the English busk "to be an itinerant performer," which came from busk "to seek or cruise, as a pirate ship." Busk probably comes from French busquer "to prowl," and the French comes from either Italian buscare "to prowl" or Spanish buscar "to seek."
