suss (sus)
tr.v. Slang., sussed, suss·ing, suss·es.
To infer or discover; figure out: “I think I'm good at sussing out what's
going
on” (Ry Cooder).
To size up; study: “Suss out the designers in whom you are interested”
(Lucia
van der Post).
[Probably short for SUSPECT.]
However, "suss" is always followed by "out." And "Sir Tony" couldn't have
meant
"to suss out" because that doesn't make a lick of sense in this context.
Volfie's right---he probably meant to say succeed, though even then it
would be
grammatically incorrect, since it should be "succeed in" rather than
"succeed
with."
