a sculpture of a person's head, shoulders, and chest

Epstein concentrated increasingly on bronze portrait busts

he keeps a bust of Norris on his desk

a woman's chest as measured around her breasts

a 36-inch bust

break, split, or burst

they bust the tunnel wide open

the film bust every box office record

the colour control had bust

(of the police) raid or search (premises where illegal activity is suspected)

my flat got busted

a period of economic difficulty or depression

the boom was followed by the present bust

a raid or arrest by the police

a drug bust

a worthless thing

cynics remain convinced the political process is a bust

a violent blow

a bust on the snout
