CUZ stands for Because, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Informal spelling of "because" or "'cause," used in texts, song lyrics and social posts. It mirrors the clipped way the word is usually spoken and saves four letters over the full form.

Example: Not coming tonight cuz I have a test at 8 tomorrow.

Usage notes

Also spelled cos (British), coz and cause. In some dialects and in hip-hop slang, "cuz" also means a cousin or close friend, as in "what's up cuz," so read the whole sentence before assuming. Avoid it in formal writing.
