I was just in the pit, and a SnoopyFan has a thread which seems to say suck it different ways Now I want to know why this is a bad thing? Why when people are mad at say a corporation or whatever,they say suck it. I’d always bthought it was kindof a _nice_ thing to do?! ---

I imagine “it” refers to yer wee-wee, ding-dong, cock, dick, penis, schlong, Peter, pecker, or whatever else you wanna call your one-eyed trouser snake. “Sucking it”, in this context, is usually seen as an act of submission… kinda like getting your fallen enemy to kneel in front of you. Just in this case, you also have him stretch out his neck and… well… I imagine you read the Starr report, so I won’t continue. ---

It’s a nice thing to volunteer to suck it, certainly. But it isn’t at all nice to be made to suck it as a sign of your inferiority, which I would argue is what the insult implies. ---

On a related note, does “Go suck a lemon” predate “Go suck my wee wee/pee pee/etc.”? So, 50 years ago (or whatever), if someone said “Suck it”, would they be understood to mean “a lemon” and would everyone know that, whilst they might protest that they meant “a lemon”, actually they were really thinking “Man-Junk”? **vanilla**. Over here you’d say “dick”. “Cock” might be slightly ruder/coarser, not that that’s a real concern if you’re already saying it to someone 🙂 . “Knob” might work, but it doesn’t scan as well for me in this context. ---

While _having_ it sucked is considered a nice thing, actually doing the sucking is considered fairly unpleasant by most straight men (in my experience the only ones who use that particular phrase regularly.) Basically, it’s like telling someone to eat shit and die; you want them to suffer through a really disgusting experience. And men wonder why some women don’t wanna suck it. ---

If you force someone to suck it, what keeps them from biting it off? ---

I, a man, have pondered the dichotomy of fellatio as worst insult / pleasurable thing. I must say that the magnitude of the latter has eclipsed the former in such a way that I can no longer bring myself to use terms to describe the act as an insult. In fact, I happen to believe it is an act of such beauty and generosity that we should be singing its praises, even maybe creating a new national holiday for it! ---

I get the “suck it” thing as an insult. Now, what about the phrase, “bite me”? Don’t get me wrong, I use it a LOT. Hee, more than I should, especially to certain politicians. 😃 But I mean … isn’t saying “oh, bite me” really inviting harm to be visited upon oneself, rather than the intended target? Yes, this is what I think about at 6AM. ---

Well, if we’re talking about “suck it” in the insulting sense, I suggest that the object of attention is meant to be the anus. I mean, if I’m insulting you, would I imply something potentially pleasurable for you? Therefore, “it” equals my wooly puckered bung hole packed with… fetid nitrogen-rich fertilizer. :eek: No?
