While this initially meant something akin to “losing on purpose” it has now come to mean “losing in a way that’s embarrassing”. Speaking of throwing a game, in Among Us (and some other games) it isn’t uncommon to hear things like “you’re throwing” or “oh I don’t want to throw this”. Most games of Among Us have two impostors, so being accused of acting as a third one means that people either think you’re being stupid and throwing the game, or are intentionally inciting chaos for the fun of it, thus making it hard for the crewmates to win.

Third impostor is definitely not something you want to be accused of. Without voice chat it’s a lot easier to just type “elec” when telling people where you were or where a body was found. It’s also a common place to find bodies since there’s a dark & secluded area in the back of the room. “Elec” is short for “electrical”, which refers to a section on the most popular map, The Skeld. So anyone who seems to have the potential to be an impostor is most definitely sus and you should let everyone know.Įlec is another shortened word in Among Us, and while it isn’t as common, not knowing this one could definitely make you look a little sus. “Sus” is simply short for the word “suspect” or “suspicious”. Sus is probably the most common word you’ll find in any given chatroom in Among Us. And since Among Us is a great game for people who aren’t usually gamers, we’ve also added some common video game slang that applies to all games. So, to help you avoid some unnecessary accusations of murder we put together a list of some words & phrases you’ll need to know to navigate the chat in Among Us a little smoother. However, if you’re new to the game you may find people who have been playing longer than you using words & slang you don’t quite understand, and if you interpret them wrong you could accidentally find yourself getting thrown out of the airlock – whether you’re an impostor or not. Even the official Fall Guys Twitter account has praised the murder msytery game. You can barely scroll through Twitter before you come across an article, meme, or post about the game.
