        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.

            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.
