[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know where the phrase originated, but in my experience most people don't think of it that way and consider it fairly mild. We warned our kids that it could be considered vulgar, and would always make a worse impression than other milder or more pleasant words. We've set the expectation that they're to avoid the use of such language knowingly around adults, though I don't care how they speak around just their friends as long as they're not being cruel to someone present.[/quote] I got in trouble in, I think, fifth grade because I said that something "sucked." The teacher had to let me off, though, because I truly did not know why it was a bad thing to say and she didn't want to explain it to me. I classify "sucks" as a mild vulgarity. I think it's an expression that has come unmoored from its origins. [/quote]
