Modern definition: Bad, terrible, disappointing.
Derived from the derogatory use of "cock sucker", an alternative to the use of 'faggot' for homosexuals or as a means to insult any male by labeling them as one. Later shortened to a more
commonly used "you suck", and then, with younger generations oblivious of its carnal meaning and derogatory intent, only picking up that it means 'bad' or 'lousy', it quickly went to "it sucks" or "that sucks."
Thus it is a living remnant of the stigmatization which was, for well over a century, a silent holocaust destroying the lives of millions.

"You cock sucker!" . . . "You suck cock, man!" . . . "You suck!" . . . "He sucks!" . . . "It sucks." . . . "This job sucks."
