Sucks
Can you tell what is “Sucks”? I am learning English.
I hope it is not rude.
It’s slang, so it could be construed as being rude by some. It’s a way of saying that something is bad. For instance, if you ate a meal you did not like, you could say, “this food sucks”. If you saw the driver of the SUV shown above driving into that ditch, you could have said, “their driving skills suck”. You can also say people suck. I’ve often heard people say, “George Bush sucks”.
In a more vulgar sense, people will usually add the explitive, ’shit’. For instance if you were to say, “this food sucks shit”, as an older woman, people might be shocked to hear you say that. If you were a teenager, they may just roll their eyes at you.
That sucks…. is a way of saying “thats a bad situation to be in”
isn’t it orginated from vulgar name of the blow job ?
mhm… what do you say - did “sucker” evolve from “to suck” or the other way around?
or “a sucker” and “to suck” are completely independent terms?
you see, in Russian there are equivalents to “sucker” - like “loh”, “lopuh” etc. though I can not recall any verb related to that (well, except for “lohanut’sya” - approx. “to make a stupid mistake typical for a sucker”)
just curious…
George Bush does Suck
and blow
Marina–
Although the phrase “…sucks” can be often heard on television and in public, it is still considered rude and should not be used in polite conversation. The direct Russian equivalent would be “sossit”, so you can understand the sexual implications that lurk just below the surface here.
Some forms of usage in English:
“plokhoy” or bad - “I heard that new song on the radio, and it sucked.” (the song was bad, and I did not enjoy it)
expressing unfairness/injustice - parent: “Go to your room!” bad child: “You suck!”
expressing sympathy towards a bad situation - person 1: “The metro was delayed for three hours this morning.” person 2: “Wow… that sucks.”
In my home state of New Jersey, we had a special phrase that was very funny: “Well, (it) sucks to be you!” or “(It) Sucks being you!” This would be said when a kind word was expected, and it was ironic and funny due to its shocking lack of sympathy. For instance: person 1: “OW! I just got stung by a bee!” person 2: “Hey… sucks being you!” person 1: (smacks person 2)
(have I left out other uses of the word/phrase “…suck”?
A more acceptable substitute would be “(it) stinks!”. Younger children often say this before they start (unfortunately) learning the naughtier words. However, saying “you stink!” to someone is still not very nice. In fact, it sucks!
The correct word is Suck and is an abbreviated form of the word Suction. Suction is the force used draw to a liquid or gas through a hose, tube, pipe, or space. Suck is the opposite of the word BLOW.
EXAMPLE: You the Vacuum cleaner sucks air through the hose and blows it out the other end.
The Fan sucks air in and blows it out the window.
The word suck also carries a slang meaning as well. When someone says “that sucks” they often mean it’s not good. Sucks also has some XXX meanings, so I’ll let your grown up imagination figure that one out.
Example of the Slang term: Eating tasty American food can make you fat. Being fat sucks.
If you are learning English, Merriam-Webster (M-W.com) will be your best friend in learning our language.

It sucks big dick?
Again, thank you to all of you for give me so much information. But I have desided not to include this word in my vocabuary. I do not think it sound good coming from my speech.
It is clothing for legs worn inside shoes.
Just looks like a normal Russian road to me…
Why did HE or she(very unlikely) drive into the hole? Is he blind?
A bicycle would have done a better job.
OMG OMGO MGOMOGMOMGMMGOMGOMOGMOGMOMGOMGOMGOMOGMOM
MUST HAVE BEEN AN AWESOME RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Judging from the state of the rear window, it appears that the driver activated the rear wiper AFTER driving into that depression…
Russian drives = best in world. WHen I drive my Toxic wastes truck into ditches I usually get toed out by a school bus. Im usually sober when this happens, Vodka improves Russian driving skills!
Wow. Just… boggle.
How’d the road collapse under the car? The thing that amazes me is that the car didn’t hit that concrete thingy about 10 feet away from the rear window.
