Meaning
A scuffle, brawl, or noisy fight — a sudden burst of pushing, shoving, and flying fists. 'A rammy buss out inna di bar' means a brawl broke out in the bar, and the word suggests a chaotic, tangled tussle among several people rather than a clean one-on-one fight. It names the messy, sudden eruption of violence in a crowded place, all confusion and grappling, and it belongs to the vocabulary of trouble and disorder, the flare-up that turns a lime or a session ugly in an instant.
