For me, it’s about people having to always point how something makes them so old that was popular in their childhood. And they never ever stop to point out to everyone and announce how old they are.
Like yes, we get it, time fucking moves forward. It is by design. What makes you so special out of the billions that came before you and the billions more that’ll come after you, about how old you are? It doesn’t make you special so shut up.
Source?
Pretty sure it just means suspicious and you’re probably projecting.
Uhh, source is being a public school kid at the time and knowing kids that would “steal you in the face for acting sus.” Unfortunately, as much as I’d like to revisit the homophobic past, my time machine is in the shop, but let’s see what google says.

There’s a couple people saying they’ve heard it used the same way it originally was. You can be in denial that it used to be used for homophobic reasons all you want, idk why you’ve decided I’m some crazy liar enemy of yours, but frankly to me that’s what seems to be a projection in this thread. If me pointing out the origins of a phrase being less than favorable offended you in some way, I do apologize, wasn’t trying to offend.
Maybe it’s a generational or regional thing. Kids at my school just openly accused eachother of being gay, “gay” was also used as an insult or derogatory term.
If someone called me sus, or referred to someone else as sus, I’d just be blunt and ask them “suspicious of what?” and force them to say it.
