Etymology: Bizzle is a slang coinage built on the playful "-izzle" suffix, which rappers and their fans popularized in American hip hop. The suffix was attached to ordinary words to make them sound jokingly exaggerated, and "shizzle," a riff on "shit," was its best-known product. Speakers then took the pattern further, swapping in other syllables to get new forms. "Bizzle" most likely follows that pattern, with "biz" (short for "business," or the sense of "bizness" as one's affairs) combined with the "-izzle" ending. Its exact first use is hard to pin down, because slang of this kind spreads orally and is rarely recorded in print at the moment it is coined. Its meaning is therefore tied to the playful, informal register of the suffix itself rather than to any single fixed sense.
