And where did you get that strange definition? Busto does mean "bust" and monte means "mountain" His name is spelled Bustamante, not Bustamonte. So you are saying that his name means "mountainous" bust? In Mexico, a big bust in the colloquial street language would be "chiches." Bustamante is nothing more than a common family surname no meaning attached.

Gee does that bring back bad Spanish-class memories. "Yo no mastico las chiches en la classe."

If you are right, perhaps you should call all the CA radio stations because they have been saying "big bust" for weeks. And personally I don't give a darn how he spells his name.
