Sufse, (sounds like "stuffs") is a word commonly used in the Trump era to describe the consequences of administrative overreach in the American academic environment or work place. It originated in Chicago, Illinois in or around the 2024/2025 academic year. The term is used by academics who spend an inordinate amount of time corresponding with the upper administration and must communicate what they have been working on to colleagues.
For example –
Q: What did you do today?
