Default Finally going to ask - What is "tusi" all about?

Sorry to ask this, but I've seen it on the forum for a long, long time and have finally posted to ask what is meant by 'tusi'

Thanks (and apolgies!) in advance.

The Batusi was a dance that Batman did on the old Adam West TV show. Tusi is kind of an all purpose lounge for discussing stuff. I think. I'm not really sure myself.

yet you still have to give credit to the 60s series for really making batman a pop culture icon for generations. I mean joker, catwoman, penguin, and the riddler are all popular because of that show. Its too bad they havent released the series on dvd, I think its a great introduction to batman for kids.

That show was the reason I became a fan when I was a kid.

Myself, I had already been a fan for a couple of years when the show debuted. I remember going to a friend's house to watch the first show because he had a color TV and we didn't. I remember that Batusi scene, and it was pretty much a "WTF!" moment for me.

Hard to believe that stupid dance was all the rage back in the 60's just like the Macarena in the 90's.

If you want to re-watch them, all the episodes are on YouTube.
