Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the imperative verb 'buzz', used since the early 20th century to mimic the sound of an insect flying away or to tell someone to go away quickly. The addition of 'off' reinforces the directional departure or dismissal, becoming firmly established in colloquial English slang by the mid-1900s.
