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 Filmstrip Smug. Tino Singh and Jaida Taylor. Only two B3’s in the whole entire existence of the world. Originally called BFFFLx3’s, but B3 is shorter. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY for you to become a B3! The B3 population is 2!! Tino and Jaida are the only 2 that are born to have a B3ship.
friend1: Yo, you heard bout those B3’s?
friend2: Yeah, but they’re the only 2 in the world so even if we tried to be like them, we can’t.
friend1: Yeah, must be nice.
friend2: Yeah, but they’re the only 2 in the world so even if we tried to be like them, we can’t.

Get the B3’smug. 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.
