Busted

Busted means being caught or discovered doing something wrong or illegal.

It is a common slang term used to describe a situation where someone gets caught in the act or exposed for doing something they shouldn’t be doing. It can refer to any type of wrongdoing, whether it’s breaking a rule, sneaking around, or engaging in illegal activities. When someone is busted, it often implies that they were caught red-handed or found out without them realizing it.

Example 1: “I was trying to sneak out of the house last night, but my parents heard me and busted me.”
Example 2: “The police raided the illegal party and busted everyone for underage drinking.”
