Amogus comes from Among Us, the social deduction game released in 2018, where players call crewmates sus, short for suspicious. The misspelled Amogus version spread as a meme across gaming edits and short videos, turning the game's emergency meeting language into a general internet joke. The very sus phrasing stuck because it sums up distrust in two words and fits almost any awkward moment. It remains popular in montages and chats where the accusation itself is the comedy, long after the original game peaked.
