Default Good News: Slow, but steady progress

A surprising number of online forums used to automatically block the use of the term suck[tion.] How they coped on vampire support forums I have absolutely no idea. It must have sucked the life out of many of them.

"Suck" is, I believe, a popular, derogatory Americanism amongst the linguistically immature. i.e. Those given to saying "OMG" to describe literally everything from dropping a single, worthless item. To being confronted by wholesale, nuclear Armageddon on their own doorstep. Hope this helps?
