bus! excl.
enough! stop!
Oakfield (1854) 42: ‘And if you pass,’ say my dear good-natured friends, ‘you may get an appointment.’ ‘Bus!’ (you see my Hindostanee knowledge already carries me the length of that emphatic monosyllable). | ||
Hobson-Jobson (1996) 133/1: BUS, adv. P.-H. bas, ‘enough.’ Used commonly as a kind of interjection : ‘Enough ! Stop !’ [...] Few Hindustani words stick closer by the returned Anglo-Indian. |
