Popo..it may be in the dictionary but it is used primarily in Europe, not in North America, and Armando is in Canada.
We 'figure' things out. No one that I know ever uses 'Mate' either. It's Bud, Buddy, Babe. Hon.
It's not a matter of being picky...it is what your ear is tuned to.

This issue came up once (at least) in the past.
I reside in North America, and until I started reading this forum I had never heard the term "suss". I think I mentioned something about it in a post some time back, and it was explained to me/us at the time.
O/G - I think you're right, it's a European term.

That all fine and good OG but we 'Europeans' haven't got 'picky' over you saying what you say, why should he get picky over that?

However, a word (?) such as "suss" and its other derivatives grate on my well being. I hope that I am not being too picky.

Why should this 'grate' Armando?
This forum has members from all over the world, we all accept the different derivatives, you are the only one I've ever heard complain.
My goodness, four little letters can cause such discussion!
You have really surprised me.
