What it means
Your bezzy mate is your absolute closest mate, the one who gets the unfiltered version of you and still sticks around. It’s a playful British way of saying best mate or bestie, especially common in Liverpool and wider Scouse chat, though plenty of people round the UK will get it straight away.
Usage examples
"That’s me bezzy mate, la, proper sound. I’d stand in the chippy queue in the drizzle for her, no moaning, even after she nicked me fags."
"Me bezzy mate Donna in Walton picks me up from work every Friday at five sharp, drives me to the Asda for the weekly shop, and refuses to leave the carpark until I admit she was right."
"I called my bezzy mate Jordan in Wavertree at three in the morning crying about a job interview gone wrong, he came round with a kebab and a six-pack and told me to forget the whole place."
"I’m not going that party on my own, my bezzy mate’s still getting ready and she’s the only one there I can properly yap to."
"He’s my bezzy mate from way back, so if he says that trim looks rough, I know he’s not just being a menace."
