In Filipino, it's an expression that has existed since the 20th C. It can mean, "dismiss" (an idea/object), "meh", or "frustration". We pronounce it literally as /sus/ (/숫/) (/ᜐᜓᜐ᜔/). It originated from the expression "susmaryosep" which is the shortened form of "Hesus Marya Yosep" (Jesus Mary Joseph).

@[email protected] Ooh! A British expression too and different. In a way, I can relate to the British expression "suss". It's like saying, "silly me, it was that simple".
