Question that's been percolating in the back of my mind for a bit.
Why isn't 'you suck' met with as much approbation 'that's gay' or 'you're a bundle of sticks?'
Seems pretty clear that its a reference to the shame of male-male fellatio, rarely is it employed against women or feminine situation.
A shitty athlete sucks. Shitty situations suck. It seems to be at base applied to roughly the same situations as 'that's gay' would be.
Is it the slight remove from direct reference to sexual preference, to more indirect reference to sexual act.
