Busia is a shortened form of the Polish word Babusia and a term of endearment, and we pronounced it 'Boo-sha'(as in the Holloween English word 'booh'=to scare)...i am ancestrally from the Toledo, Ohio (USA) Polish diaspora and this is what i was taught.
These terms were taught us by those very Grandparents... and we loved them dearly. My granchildren use this term with me, just between us, now ;), they say 'Grandma' in public.
We have been told we are from southwest Warsaw
