Not really. Slang is like a spin off of a certain word like bad neughbourhood - gutter. This are just shorter versions of existing words, and when they are used long enough and frequently the linguists will start adding them into dictionaries

That's such an awful take it's funny. Remembers me of the office when Kevin tried to talk using less words...

Even if words get added to the dictionary that doesn't mean they will get replaced. And it doesnt even take a genius to find out that sus is not suitable to cover suspicion, suspect, suspicious and so on.
