sus
Not quite trustworthy
Sus is slang for suspicious or suspect—someone or something that seems untrustworthy or shady: That guy's acting real sus, The whole deal felt sus to me.
The word exploded in popularity through the video game Among Us, where players identify impostors, but it existed in hip-hop and internet slang earlier.
Can also function as a noun: He's a sus.
