Usage Note
Bizut (also spelled bizuth) is French student slang for a first-year student, especially in the grandes écoles (elite higher-education institutions). It is tied to le bizutage — hazing rituals that are now officially banned in France but persist informally. The verb bizuter means to haze a new student.
Examples
"Les bizuts subissent souvent des brimades."
