CH> IOW: "IT Sucks" does NOT, to me, imply a sexual inuendo.

 CH> It is you who made that reference.

 BK>  Actually, that most certainly was the origin of the term. IMO.


Yes. But you know how we all mangle the meanings of words. Look what
happened to the one time completely innocent word 'gay'?

SO this is reverse see. "(homework for example) Sucks" means it's bad.
At least that is how it seems to mean in the context I've read it in. :)

You got laid off at xmas time? That sucks.
