Bust is slang for being caught or getting in trouble. It typically refers to getting caught by authorities for illegal activities, but it can also be used in a broader sense to mean getting caught or facing negative consequences in any situation.

In a more in-depth explanation, bust is often associated with law enforcement activities where people are apprehended for criminal acts. It can also be used in a general sense to describe any situation where someone is caught, exposed, or faces negative consequences for their actions. The term bust is commonly used by those involved in illicit activities, but it has also entered mainstream slang and can be used in various contexts.

Examples:
1. The drug dealers were celebrating their successful operation, but little did they know that the police were planning a bust and they would soon be behind bars.
2. James thought he could cheat on the test, but he got a surprise when the teacher caught him red-handed. It was a total bust for him.
