Must make you feel powerful, seeing all the folks falling over backwards so not to offend your sensibilities. That sucks, girl!

I didn't realize sucks had a negative sexual connotation until about a year ago when people discussed it elsewhere on the Net. Then it was like, Do'h, why didn't I realize that??? Or maybe I subconsciously did. When one starts using slang as a teenager, which I did, and that is when I remember starting using that particular word, one is out to shock. One doesn't care, one wants to offend the "old folks." OTOH, I like hoovers. It's cute and it means what it says rather than slyly meaning something else. Marnie aka Doe
