Sus
suhs (short for suspicious)
Definition
Short for 'suspicious' — used to describe something or someone that seems shady, untrustworthy, or off. Popularised globally by the multiplayer game Among Us (where identifying the 'impostor' is the whole premise), 'sus' spread rapidly into everyday speech and is now used by children and adults alike far outside gaming contexts. In Roblox, you might hear it to describe a player who seems to be cheating, an unusually generous trade offer, or any situation that feels off.
Example Usage
“That player is acting sus... are they hacking?”
Note for Parents
Sus is harmless slang — your child is just saying something seems suspicious or sketchy. However, if they describe a player or online friend as 'acting sus' in a social context rather than a gameplay one, it might be worth a gentle follow-up conversation about what felt off.
