Are you Serious????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I cannot believe you actually think the urban dictionary is a place to get a reliable definition. It seems to me a place to see how creatively nasty one can be. Here is the definition of "preacher" from the urban dictionary:
Often found on street corners talking some nonsense about god and amusing the general public.
Preacher: "THE APOCOLYPSE IS COMING, REPENT!!!!"
General crowd: "LOL!"
Definition of "Christian" from the urban dictionary:
Someone who is tired of searching their name on the internet and recieving only religion-related results, overall an awesome person, extremely intelligent and attractive
Christian searched his name on Google and ended up on the website for a local church
Definition "Bible" from the urban dictionary:
bible
An ancient novel full of murder, corruption, homosexuality, bestiality, incest and cruelty. It is often read to children on Sunday.
As I understand, any fool can submit a definition. The volunteer editors vote (with NO CRITERIA) whether or not to include that definition. Very authoritative!! Site visitors can apparently vote against a definition. Again, very authoritative.

I would expect to hear the word in question, if I was at the mall, but coming from a minister is quite a shock.
It is interesting, that a word that had it's beginnings in the sexual deviant, not only is accepted by many in the church, but it is in many cases embraced by those who Minister the Word of God.
This will work good for Sunday. |
Actually Mark, the Urban dictionary (a place where one would expect a rough etiology of the term) describes the origins of the term as follows:
From the Urban Dictionary:
Sucks
Not good. Bad.
"The early Jazz musicians would say that a guy could really "Blow" if he had a good sound when playing the horn. If he couldn't play very well then they would say that he was "Sucking" on that horn. That's where the term "Suck" as being something bad came from.
He plays that horn so poorly that he must be sucking on it.
He doesn't blow, he sucks." |

As I mentioned, one would expect that to be the place for the edgiest of definitions. Dig deeper BK, you can find the actual etymology. _________________ I'm not saved because I'm good. I'm saved because He's good!

How old ARE you???
Never mind the more ancient origins of the term itself ... concerning the modern slang expression, and it's various uses, the online etymology dictionary says ...
It's use to refer to sucking eggs, as in deprived of meaning or worth (akin to a slang use of weasel) was in 1906.
It's use referring to oral sex (with no distinction being made as to the hetero/homosexual nature of the act) is first recorded in 1928.
It's use in reference to sucking the hind tit/teat (akin to being the runt), expressing inferiority, in 1940.
It's use meaning "to be contemptible", claiming the underlying notion there regards oral sex [with no source or further explanation], akin to expressions like "that stinks", or "bummer", was in 1971. _________________ Poimen

Again, Poimen, we are not discussing the general word "suck." As DrDuck pointed out, we are discussing it's use in modern slang.
I own a "New College Edition The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language" which has a copyright of 1976. It does not have a definition at all for the word "suck" when used to mean something is disgustingly offensive. The 2009 copyright edition lists that meaning and lists it as vulgar.
Without answering the cute question of how old this lady is, let's just say I've been alive the entire time between 1976 and 2009.

Nor was I. Which is why I didn't go back to the Germanic, French or Latin roots.

As am I, which is why I referenced slang usage of the term in modern American culture beginning around 1900. _________________ Poimen

Thanks for trying to bring some sense to this gross overreaction. _________________ I'm not saved because I'm good. I'm saved because He's good!

Wasn't that what you wanted? You post an outrageous thread and when you get the reaction you looked for, it gives you the opportunity to point out other's "gross overreaction".
What is "gross" is that vulgar word you used and I assume you use it all the time.
But who am I? Doyle said it was an "excellent point". |
