The first meme to use the term “sus” within the context of Among Us is unknown, but one of the earliest examples from Twitter user PRimeExplorer was tweeted on September 6th, 2020. On an episode of Loiter Squad from 2012 during a segment of “The World According to Taco,” the term is explained in detail with examples of Tyler acting “sus.”
On Urban Dictionary, the top definition was added by user NeonKiwi on July 29th, 2019, defined as, “Suspicious, but more… ‘lit.’ Used as a replacement for suspicious such as when a friend is being awfully quiet.” In rap and hip-hop songs, the term also appears numerous times over the years, including artists such as Tyler, the Creator. Outside its use in the game, the slang term “sus” has been used for many years in a multitude of settings.
