Sus definition: what "Sus" means and examples

Popularised by the game Among Us, where players must find a "sus" imposter, this word has entered daily speech. It is used for anything that feels untrustworthy. If your child thinks a text message is a scam, they’ll call it sus. It can also be used to describe someone who is acting strangely or hiding their true intentions. It’s a quick way to flag that something doesn't pass the "sniff test."

Examples:

1. "He’s being very sus with his phone lately, always hiding the screen."
2. "That website looks a bit sus, I wouldn't enter your card details."
3. "Why are you being so sus about where you were last night?"
