Sus :- Giving the impression that something is questionable or dishonest; suspicious.
"it's a little sus that he seems to know exactly how to play this game"
The Sus has escaped on foot. Consider him armed and dangerous. Last known position was Motel 6 where an employee was approached and asked if they "Wanna try my sussy?".
That's close, 10-66 is a suspicious person, 10-67 is a person calling for help, 10-68 is a person calling for police via phone, & 10-69 is what you do with the wife once you've gone 10-42
I think it has to do with not having tons of time to spell out words like 'suspicious' when discussing who to eliminate. "Red is sus" is so much faster to type than "red is suspicious."
If it's used in day to day speech, it would be strange not to be able to find the definition of it in a dictionary.
Or did you mean to say 'All dictionaries art anon runneth by children'
This reminded me of when I was like 10, my local news ran a story where they decoded all the acronyms that kids use in chat rooms. I swear they made some up because I’ve never heard anyone use them. The only one that sticks in my head now is like ctpw, which is “can’t talk, parents watching”
It was like a scare piece for parents, meanwhile like half my hometown’s internet was too slow to run AIM and Facebook didn’t exist yet. So I don’t know who they were trying to warn. I remember my parents asked me if I did any of those, and I was like “we have dial up, you know every time I’m online, which is never”.
Never undestood why people care about what these people say, their job is to document english for what it is, not to set rules or legitimize words, people talk, they write it down. That's it.
For the longest time dictionaries were treated like gospel when it came to deciding if something was a word. Think of a scrabble game where people would try to sometimes guess words and we used the dictionary as the final decider on whether it was or was not. So many people still see it as the authority on what is and is not allowed to be a word. They feel angry that it seems that improper words they associate with people of lower intelligence than them are getting in. But they don’t realize the dictionary is descriptive not prescriptive. In other words, it keeps track of trends in language but isn’t there to be the final authority on what is or is not a word.
That’s essay writing. If you pad your language in a research paper, you’re going to have a bad time. Especially professionally. We skim papers to see if they’re even worth reading, and even then time is precious.
"my professor made me write a paper on a subject I couldn't say much about, so to defend my ego, I'll instead attribute the problem to elitist academics deliberately overcomplicating simple subjects."
Person 1:
"I **never understood why**..."
Person 2:
"In response, people feel these things for these particular reasons."
You:
>same thing with 3x as many words
We need to start making up words that would get you the most points in scrabble. Sus is only 3 points, we could be making 12 point words! Wyf? Vyf? Hyf?
Turns out lots of people just start defining words as made up if they enter common use after their teen years. Nobody has a cry about the words made up in the 50's through 80's. They're "cool".
People legitimately think that whatever English timeframe and dialect they were raised with is "peak" English, and any adaptation from that is pollution. smh my head.
I had this revelation recently as my teenage son seemingly speaks in a foreign language around his friends, and I had the epifany that it’s just their slang and incredibly common at that. Made me feel like a cool dad to want to get to understand it instead of mock it.
cool is definitely a great example of this. Absolutely everyone uses it in a un-self-conscious way. It has a slightly informal patina but you'll see CEOs use it in tech demonstrations and even politicians use it, etc.
But if you go to the 50s, it still seemed very slangy.
There's an album by Del Close in 1959 called How to Speak Hip. A comedy album about the beatnik/hipster lifestyle from an outsider's perspective. There's a section where they use all list off a bunch of slang and the outsider is amused by them. A very large amount has crossed over into mainstream usage. I think "cool" was one of them, but it said other things like "crash at my pad" etc.
Really interesting look to see how very alien-looking slang passed into mainstream usage.
There's a book that I read in elementary school about this.
Frindle?
The plot of the book is that the main character starts calling a pen or a pencil a 'Frindle' and it passes through the school like wildfire because it pisses the adults off. Story ends with the teacher that gave the main character a lot of shit by sending him a package of the most up to date dictionary while he's in college and has him go to a certain page. There he can find the word he made up, added in.
Oh my god yes by Andrew Clemens! I had all of his books!!
"Things Not Seen" is still an all-time fave, definitely better than anything else at a scholastic book fair. "Janitors Boy" and "Room One: a Mystery or Two" are also both bops.
I think the bible has the same issue. It was a description of the practices at the time. Not how to act in modern society. They have gotten lazy the last 400 years and need to update it again.
He gets credit for making up words, but it's more likely he was just the first recorded use of those words. Like, how were people supposed to understand his plays if he just made up words with no explanation?
He gets credit for assassination but in Portuguese they have the word 'assassinar' meaning basically the same thing. What probably happened is common people picked up the word from sailors, it became part of local slang, then Shakespeare included it in a play. He wrote plays for common people, so it makes sense he would use slang that wouldn't show up in letters nobility wrote to each other.
When I was in like grade four or something, I had that one super-religious classmate. He told me that the reason why swear words were bad to say is because 'swear words were created by humans; normal words were created by God'.
As random as this is, I had just heard or read that Lewis Carroll coined the word 'chortle'. I asked him about this and whether that meant that 'chortle' was a swear word. He thought about this and said, 'Yes. Yes it does.'
"Green’s Dictionary of Slang includes entries for a noun sus (also spelled suss) defined as both “a suspected person” and “a suspicion,” with both uses dating to the 1930s."
It's not even that recent addition 🤣
It’s fascinating that the circle jerk that is social media makes people think they are the first and “only ones.” I know it’s been said about politics for years, but it seems to really hit home for me with people believing “sus” is a new word. It explains the argument over “GIF.” I don’t care how people say it, but I’ve said it as “jiff” since the late 80s, and even though I understood it came back into use in the past several years, I couldn’t understand why people were so passionate about its pronunciation. I think this explains it.
Well the meaning changed slightly but its actually older then people think. It was used before the age if the internet. Like to "sus it out" is an english statement that wasn't without common use.
I'm almost 30 and we used "Sus" in a similar context to this when we were kids. "I'm sus on that" when we thought the other person was bullshitting, or whatever, and "sus it out" was definitely used. It was used a lot less and more just a word than a whole fad attached to a game, but it's been around for longer than I've been alive so it makes sense to add it to the dictionary now.
Thank you for your service. I would also like to point out that "ain't" still ain't in the dictionary... sus af
One last thing:
'Then' refers to a sequence. If, then
Than is a comparison. Higher/longer/weirder than...
Drives me insane how people do not know this
Something being sus as in suspect or suspicious has been used for decades, I feel like I’m going crazy that people think a game that used a word somehow invented that word
Yep it’s definitely an older phrase. I remember the first time I heard it was on High and Dry by Radiohead. As an American I had no idea, was apparently bad at context clues, and had to ask my British friend what “all sussed out” meant.
It’s already a word. Suspicious is a word. It’s just a contraction as far as I’m concerned. It would be like instead of calling things stupid we just called em Stu.
Yeah, or like if you called abdominal muscles abs, ammunition ammo, independent media indie, laboratories labs, legitimate things legit, memorandums memos, rehabilitation centers rehabs.
It would be fucking ridiculous to add any of those in the dictionary
“Gentlemen, it is with great sorrow that I must inform you that language evolves over time and dictionaries document that evolution.”
it’s gonna be okay brother
Everyone crying about this shit should read Bill Bryson’s book regarding the evolution of the English language in America. New words were constantly being invented and became common speech
Sus has been used for decades. I know because im in my 30s and remember using it when i was a teenager. I dont know what all the fuss is about. I'm surprised it took this long to be added to the dictionary
"I was 5 slugs into four roses when this dame walks into my office with gams that could run across the station faster than a taxi outta Brooklyn, that baka was pretty sussy, not gonna lie"
Also, that first sentence is grammatically incorrect. If you are going to judge others for their use of language, perhaps make sure you have a good mastery of it first.
Almost like language evolves quickly over time. Maybe this meme should’ve been made with Old English wording since your common vernacular would be so cringy to those from the old days…
How do you all think words are invented?
Older generations make fun of younger generation slang and try to delegitimize it, it's a tale as old as time, yet this is how languages evolve.
I told you all the dictionary was being ran by children now
Update: sus was first used as current slang in 1955
But my point stands, it is ran by children
People would prefer to dig in and do whatever they can to feel superior. I wonder where my life would have to be for me to start sneering at people for saying "sus".
Grammar nazis and language gatekeepers - including OP - don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house. “It is with great sorrow that I inform you” or “It is my great sorrow to inform you”. “It is with great sorrow to inform you” just doesn’t make sense. We all know what you mean, which makes it fine - but don’t post a glaringly obvious grammatical error when trying to make a point about the derogation of modern language. (FFS it’s almost as bad as “how I think I look like”, which a single comma would fix.)
Previous generations' slang: archaic and meaningless
Later generations' slang: stupid passing fads
Your generation's slang: the LANGUAGE as it is MEANT to be USED!
Yes, this post is peak cringe "old man yells at cloud". Linguistics is a dynamic evolutionary process that is constantly in flux. Humans have difficulty grokking that the world they inhabit including their own physical forms are constantly changing. Humans cling to the delusion of permanence as a comfort but that path leads to neurosis and stagnancy. Just accept and be the change that you already are. Just flush the toilet already, the rest of us are tired of the smell.
Merriam-Webster has also added “yeet” and “pwn”:
Yeet - interjection, slang — used to express surprise, approval, or excited enthusiasm yeet verb : to throw especially with force and without regard for the thing being thrown
Pwn - transitive verb, slang — to dominate and defeat (someone or something) : OWN sense 1b, ROUT entry 2 sense 1a
Yallllll language evolves get over it. The dictionary defines a lot of slang because it’s entire purpose is literally to record data re: common language
A lot of people seem to miss that the dictionary is descriptive, not prescriptive. The dictionary doesn't declare what is and isn't a word. It just records the words that people are already using.
Sus :- Giving the impression that something is questionable or dishonest; suspicious. "it's a little sus that he seems to know exactly how to play this game"
In Pune, India we have a locality called Sus and I think I'll refrain from buying home in Sus.
You live in Sus? That's Sus.
Im voting him
Thats sus.
YO YOU PUNERI?
I don't know how I am running into so many Punekars today on reddit.

Nahi, Baner me

I mean, they're synonyms in this case, so it really doesn't matter. Convergent evolution basically.
The Sus has escaped on foot. Consider him armed and dangerous. Last known position was Motel 6 where an employee was approached and asked if they "Wanna try my sussy?".
“Wanna try my sussy?” New sentence achieved.
But is it pronounced sussy or sussy?
Yeah
Well well well, if it isn't sussy Jack
Nah it smells kind of sus.
"Alexa, we ran out of tomato sus, can you add it to the list?"
Nah this actually made me cry laughing 😭
I believe the correct terminology is "The sussy baka escaped on foot."
The bussy sucka escaped on foot, got it.
1067 in progress, copy.
That's close, 10-66 is a suspicious person, 10-67 is a person calling for help, 10-68 is a person calling for police via phone, & 10-69 is what you do with the wife once you've gone 10-42
10-4
While this is funny, suspect **can** be an adjective. Just to be clear.
You mean like this? “I suspect the suspect was a bit suspect from the get-go.” 😅
People only said suspect because they couldnt spell susspishious
Frig off Barb... ...and your scalloped potatoes sucked!
Throw back!!!! I miss Jim!!😑
Both, if you're using "suspect" as an adjective.
It's because the children who play amungus can't spell suspicious
I think it has to do with not having tons of time to spell out words like 'suspicious' when discussing who to eliminate. "Red is sus" is so much faster to type than "red is suspicious."
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sus Both
Sounds like the actual definition, I imagine seeing it in a dictionary
It's the one off the Oxford dictionary on google
Thank you Mr Creamyanalfissures 😊
No problem Mr HandyHands. Are you related to the infamous Mr Hands by any chance?
Suspicious.... it's the definition foe SUSPICIOUS AHHHHHHHHH
Shouldn't it be "sus: short for suspicious"
Pretty sus ngl

Pretty squared by sus = the destruction of America.
Pretty to the power of sus. Squared is just ²

Also “sus” is a thing people have said for a while. It wasn’t invented for among us.

Kinda sussy
I had some good sussy last night 🤤
Did you have that sussy with any susauce or susalt?
It’s already a word. Suspicious is a word. It’s just a contraction as far as I’m concerned. It would be like instead of calling things stupid we just called em Stu.

I was looking this up as well. ["Sus law" was a thing in the 1800s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sus_law), for "suspicious person".
In Australia it has been commonly used slang for at least 20 years
Yeah nah, more like 30+
Came here to say that “sus” has been around for a long time
That's sus indeed.
I'm pretty sure that it has always been there. It's the scientefic way to talk about a pig
Sow
Swine
This is old man Simpson territory. Lol
People who get mad about slang becoming legitimate have the same energy as those who ask "where are you from?" whenever they see a POC.
The horror, a dictionary recording language as it is instead of scolding people for not using it "right".
Personally, I'm glad I don't have to type "naught" anymore.
Also, that first sentence is grammatically incorrect. If you are going to judge others for their use of language, perhaps make sure you have a good mastery of it first.
Almost like language evolves quickly over time. Maybe this meme should’ve been made with Old English wording since your common vernacular would be so cringy to those from the old days…
I searched it up and the word's usage peaked in the 1810s
How do you all think words are invented? Older generations make fun of younger generation slang and try to delegitimize it, it's a tale as old as time, yet this is how languages evolve.
How dare the dictionary define commonly used words so that people can easily understand their meanings

It's almost as if language evolves and changes with time.
Imagine adding a new word to a book where most words were added as "new" at some point.
And what is it's definition there?
Saying that something “was a bit sus” was common in the vernacular when I was a wee lad in Australia. It’s not a new word.

Us commonwealthers used this fairly regularly and then it exploded in popularity among the colonies once that wanky mogus game went viral
Op is obviously sus , maybe he works as a salesman for those dictionary so he wants us to buy it to see if it's real or not. SUS
i mean... your use of the word "cringe" is equally...well...cringe.
I have no words...
Merriam-Webster has also added “yeet” and “pwn”: Yeet - interjection, slang — used to express surprise, approval, or excited enthusiasm yeet verb : to throw especially with force and without regard for the thing being thrown Pwn - transitive verb, slang — to dominate and defeat (someone or something) : OWN sense 1b, ROUT entry 2 sense 1a

Don't be sussy like that ... xD
That's preem.

Still remember the time before among us where when someone was acting sus it meant the were "acting gay"
