"sus" short for "suspicious," often linked to the video game Among Us which became very popular during the pandemic. I'm not sure if that was the origin; the Zoomers seem to like their abbreviations ("rizz" being short for "charisma" is another example) but Among Us definitely popularized it.

Idk about everywhere else, but “sus” or “suss”has been common slang for “suspicious/suspect” in Australia, the UK and New Zealand for at least several decades.

It already existed but the popularity of Among Us globalized it and gave it new wind.
