DEFINITIVE PHRASE ETYMOLOGY: "RED IS SUS"

written by yours truly.

A mobile game named Among Us, Where crewmates work together to do tasks on a spaceship and vote off imposters, who try to kill all the crewmates. These crewmates all had a different coloured suit. When you're acting suspicious, similar to an Imposter attempting to kill, during the voting period, people will call you out. However, since there was a timer on the voting period, suspicious was shortened to "sus" to save time. When a crewmate with a red coloured suit was acting similar to an imposter, the phrase "red is sus" was born.

Red is the color of blood. So therefore when people say “Red is suspicious” that could mean that the color of the character is the same as to the color of blood, or, that they are actually genuinely suspicious (not just for the color).

Actually, opposing what you said, “Red is sus” was invented because red is the color of blood, which suggests that that person killed a crew mate and therefore is an (or the) imposter.

The issue is, there is no change to the suit colour after killing. No blood is visible. Rather, it was the actions that Red was doing, that caused the original quote writer to believe so.
