I'm seeing "sus" used a lot these days but I' m not sure if it means the same way it means in #Filipino .
In Filipino, it's an expression that has existed since the 20th C. It can mean, "dismiss" (an idea/object), "meh", or "frustration". We pronounce it literally as /sus/ (/숫/) (/ᜐᜓᜐ᜔/). It originated from the expression "susmaryosep" which is the shortened form of "Hesus Marya Yosep" (Jesus Mary Joseph).
@youronlyone The first time I heard "sus" was in connection with the game Among Us. "I suspect" a certain character. I also hear it used to express dismissal due to suspicion.
@royal It's amazing. I mean, the concept of Among Us, if I understood it correctly (I haven't played it 
Among Us really did leave an imprint in cultures and languages.
@royal @youronlyone "Sus" is well embedded in #Australian English for decades.
"Mate, I recon that chook was a bit sus, I've been to the dunny three times so far"
