    God I’ve been seeing way too much Gen Z slang that I almost forgot “sussed out” is a real phrase that means actual things.

      I’m familiar with the usage here but what does it mean to Gen Z?

          But they mean exactly the same thing and are slang from the same word, no?

            No. Sussed out, means to work something out. Usually implies a certain amount of trial and error, or coming to the realization slowly, depending on the context.

            So, “I sussed out how to work the printer”.

            Sus, in British English didn’t really have any meaning until the game came out.

              From the dictionary;

              Etymology

              Verb

              by shortening & alteration from suspect

              1930s: abbreviation of suspect, suspicion.

              People like you are why I have trust issues.

                  I never argued the definition, I argued the etymology. That they are slang for the same word. They are both shortened versions of the same word.

                  Whatever other made-up argument you thought we were having is irrelevant, either you didn’t understand and you should admit it or you moved the goal post which is sad.

                  I bet you’ll double down, though. You seem like that kind of guy.

                Those appear to be examples that were made of recently. That’s a pretty bad dictionary cuz it doesn’t actually say when the examples are from.

              Not sure if you’re pulling our legs or really don’t know…

              We’ve had the term “suss c*nt” in Aussie English for decades, and British English isn’t that far removed.

        “sus” short for “suspicious,” often linked to the video game Among Us which became very popular during the pandemic. I’m not sure if that was the origin; the Zoomers seem to like their abbreviations (“rizz” being short for “charisma” is another example) but Among Us definitely popularized it.

          Idk about everywhere else, but “sus” or “suss”has been common slang for “suspicious/suspect” in Australia, the UK and New Zealand for at least several decades.

            It already existed but the popularity of Among Us globalized it and gave it new wind.

      Nah I’ve heard that term since I was a child and I’m 28. Not that far back but before Gen Z slang was a thing.
