No. Sussed out, means to work something out. Usually implies a certain amount of trial and error, or coming to the realization slowly, depending on the context.

So, “I sussed out how to work the printer”.

Sus, in British English didn’t really have any meaning until the game came out.

I never argued the definition, I argued the etymology. That they are slang for the same word. They are both shortened versions of the same word.

Whatever other made-up argument you thought we were having is irrelevant, either you didn’t understand and you should admit it or you moved the goal post which is sad.

I bet you’ll double down, though. You seem like that kind of guy.

Those appear to be examples that were made of recently. That’s a pretty bad dictionary cuz it doesn’t actually say when the examples are from.

Not sure if you’re pulling our legs or really don’t know…

We’ve had the term “suss c*nt” in Aussie English for decades, and British English isn’t that far removed.
