What does Sus mean and where does the word come from?

This is the meaning of SUS: SUS is used as a shortcut and means suspiciously. In English original form, it says Suspicious, therefore the use of the first 3 letters.

Originally, the word was used in the Multiplayer game Among US to describe a player who is suspected of turning against his teammates.

What is Amon US? In Among US, players take over the roles of astronauts. As a button-enforced room driver you have to fulfill different tasks on a space station. But not everyone pursues the same goals: one or a few players are so-called imposters and secretly have to turn off all other peaceful astronauts and sabotage their work.

If a player gets caught with the sabotage of a task or murder of players, you write SUS and the color of the suit in the chat. So all players who have to shoot at the next internal vote. Hover all the imbussters dead in all, win the innocent.

This is how SUS is used in conversation: After the succinct success of Among Us, which also many non-gamers are expired, the use of SUS (via Google.books) has increased greatly in the chat. Often, however, it is no longer meant the same as in the game Among US. It is no longer about who behaves suspicious, the doubt is the focus of something.
