The term “sus” from Among Us was featured on Jeopardy

gamepur.com:

Among Us is breaching clear from its video game community confines and has now entered the world of competitive game shows. The term “sus” from Among Us was an answer on Jeopardy the other night, with the name Among Us being within the question itself.

The full question reads:

Kjerstin Iverson shared an image of the Among Us question on Twitter, and the official Among Us Twitter account would retweet it. Twitter user burntends would then share a clip of the question and answer as it aired on Jeopardy.

It is very surreal to hear a contestant say “What is sus” as a legit answer to a question on Jeopardy, but it just shows how far Among Us’ influence has reached. “Sus” is shorthand for “suspicious” and is used by Among Us players to describe who they think is the imposter among the crewmates. The term sus has existed long before Among Us, but “sus” has now become synonymous with Among Us and is a meme. “Sus” has now become slang for describing anyone in any situation as being untruthful and being “suspicious.”
