EN: divine punishment; curse
This is the ultimate "karma is a bitch." It’s the divine clapback you get for being disrespectful, especially to elders, nature, or anything considered sacred. Like if you point at a weird-looking tree in the forest and laugh, and then you trip over nothing? That’s `busong`. It's the universe telling you, "You've been a bad kid, here's your receipt."
Often associated with folklore, superstition, and respect for elders and nature. It implies a form of cosmic justice or retribution.
