Old French edit

Seems to mean both on top of and under. Bugger, how ambiguous do you want to get? Mglovesfun (talk) 12:21, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hebrew edit

I suggest adding a Hebrew word transcription, because in that language "sus" means horse.

Hebrew isn't written in the Latin alphabet, though. That entry is at סוס. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 12:07, 18 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Latin declension edit

Is the declension table correct? Do acc.sg. suim, abl.sg. suī, gen.pl. suium, acc.pl. suīs exist, and does gen.pl. suum not exist? Latino (p.19) & Georges' & this & A Latin Grammar & Allen&Greenough p.33 (p.25&p.34) lead to this declension:

Sg. Pl.
Nom.
Voc.
sūs
(also: suis)
suēs
(also: sueres)
Gen. suis
(also: sueris)
suum
[WT: suium]
Dat. suī suibus, sūbus (also subus) [or: sū̆bus]
Acc. suem
[WT also: suim]
suēs
(also: sueres)
[WT also: suīs]
Abl. sue
(also: suere)
[WT also: suī]
suibus, sūbus (also subus) [or: sū̆bus]

The word sus has largely been popularised by the hit game Among Us, so I could say I... suspect adding this to the article.
In all seriousness though, I do really think it would be a good addition to add this to the article, since most of its popularity is, again, from Among Us. Usersnipedname (talk) 07:19, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

No. "Among Us" is not a noteworthy source. Roman Biggus (talk) 17:17, 23 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Is the term mainly used in the context of Among Us, though? It seems that way to me. ThighFish (talk) 05:50, 18 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Right now, on the Internet, yes, but trends come and go. It was used decades before in British law (a "sus law" allows you to search a person because of suspicions about them). Equinox 23:02, 18 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
No. Well, only if you're an American, I suppose. Growing up in Australia, sus was already part of the general vernacular when I was in high school during the mid-2000s, especially in sexual contexts. When the boys were in the changerooms after sports class, and Timmy pitched a tent in his underwear, one would refer to Timmy's tent as "kinda sus". I am also 99% confident that my generation did not invent the term, nor was the term geographically isolated either; I've been called a "sus cunt" while in Queensland, which is over 2,100km away from home. --benlisquareTC 09:10, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
There is now a separate meaning, where calling something "sus" means "resembling an amogus". – Nixinova [‌T|C] 23:27, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
