Definition

Short for 'suspicious' or 'suspect,' popularized by the game Among Us where you vote out the imposter. Now used for anything even mildly questionable. Your friend cancels plans last minute? Sus. Someone is being too nice? Very sus. Trust no one.

Example Usage

"He said he was 'fine' with a period at the end. That's sus. Nobody who is actually fine uses punctuation that aggressive."

^______________^

An exaggerated text-based emoticon featuring an extremely wide smile, used to convey either genuine overwhelming happiness or thinly-veiled sarcastic innocence when you're clearly guilty of something. The length of the underscore indicates the intensity of either your joy or your obvious lying. It's the digital equivalent of a kid with cookie crumbs on their face insisting they didn't raid the cookie jar.
