What's the origin of "You suck?"
Since the phrase implies incompetence, I refuse to believe it has anything to do with oral sex. There must be another origin.
Years ago, when I ran track, we used to say that somebody who was hurting and giving out was "Sucking wind." Then, it was shortened to "Sucking." So, somebody who "sucked" was somebody who was incompetent.
I've always considered that to be the answer, although all of you couldn't have been on my track team.
