An obsolete variant of the letter s "ſ" that is often confused with an f (it also resembles ∫, a calculus symbol); It fell out of favour in the early 19th-Century for this very reason, as printers found that it was more practical to use a variant of s that would not be confused with f.
The long s still survives in German as the letter ß, which is a ligature of the letters ſ and s combined into ſs (ß). It can also be found in the Jägermeiſter (Jägermeister) logo.

"Hey, why does this word say 'ſuſpicious' in this old book? Shouldn't that be an s; I don't remember suspicious being spelt with f."
"That's just one of the ways that they wrote s back then; it's called the Long S."

Get the ________'s Mugmug. A word commonly typed in urban dictionary when subject is bored. Boredom stems from the lack of unicorns and fruity pebbles in ones life. I pity you. If you would like to find a unicorn plant a skittle into the ground and a unicorn will be born from the ensuing rainbow in approximately 7 days. Fruity pebbles are not very hard to find, just find a dinosaur and follow it too its cave of fruity pebbles. I hope this has cured your boredom.
