Yes but what I mean is that if you tell somone "You suck" or "You blow" you mean that they are not good at something.ticohans wrote:actually cave, i'm pretty sure that the suck/blow terminology comes from "blow job," in which a good deal of sucking is involved. if one is said to "suck" it implies then that the act of oral sex is somehow belittling to the person performing the act. given the fact that many times men say "suck it" when trying to demean someone, this holds pretty well.
now, that being said, whenever i say "you suck" or the like, i don't think about blow jobs, but i'm pretty sure that oral sex is the root of all that jazz.
(which is an interesting story in and of itself. although the actual derivation of the term "jazz" is unclear, there is a fair amount of evidence that it derives, at least in part, from the term "jism" or "gism," both referring to semen.)
Yet to suck is the opposite of to blow.

But you have to consider the origins of words when deriving their meaning. It's not all as straightforward as you'd like.

So by this rationale, if a girl says "I suck", it would be boasting?ticohans wrote:actually cave, i'm pretty sure that the suck/blow terminology comes from "blow job," in which a good deal of sucking is involved. if one is said to "suck" it implies then that the act of oral sex is somehow belittling to the person performing the act. given the fact that many times men say "suck it" when trying to demean someone, this holds pretty well.

reminds me of the part in Wayne's World in his basement where the guy is demonstrating his product "it sucks as it cuts" then Wayne says "it certainly does suck"snoopdoug1 wrote:Haha!
