Yes, but there's more to it... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 16/08/2018 10:38:05 PM

Often I'll see comments like that made concerning kissing up to someone excessively. Like, a comment made about someone who is being overly flattering might be something like "wow, could you blow that guy any harder?" The implication being that the other person is kissing up to them SO hard that they might as well be performing sexual favors for them in an effort to get in their good graces. Hence likening it to a form of prostitution.

That was how I took moondog's comment. That Trump was excessively kissing up to Putin.


Definitely, there's an element of that. But part of the perceived insult is also in Trump and Putin being men, and blowing someone indicating submission and a slight against someone's "masculinity" whatever the hell that is.

Say what? The Shrike - 16/08/2018 09:47:19 PM 500 Views

However much of a hypocrite moondog is, the article, I feel, represents something else Cannoli - 16/08/2018 05:51:59 AM 523 Views
Agreed that they went way too far by including everyday useage of the word, sucks. damookster - 16/08/2018 02:15:54 PM 489 Views

Cannoli is right: "sucks" implies the active party in oral sex Tom - 17/08/2018 03:04:40 AM 595 Views
That would be the "receptive partner" in scientific terminology fionwe1987 - 17/08/2018 05:44:16 AM 481 Views

"liberal" society does not police speech Cannoli - 19/08/2018 03:31:54 AM 499 Views
You don't need to protect speech everyone agrees with. *NM* Hieshyn - 19/08/2018 06:02:17 PM 368 Views
It most certainly *does* police speech. LiterateDog - 20/08/2018 03:01:32 PM 492 Views
But to follow up on that. LiterateDog - 20/08/2018 03:16:07 PM 495 Views
Well, that's why we didn't stop with the FIRST Amendment *NM* Cannoli - 21/08/2018 04:25:53 PM 250 Views
That's individuals policing speech, not society. Agregate individual action =/= collective action Cannoli - 21/08/2018 04:25:23 PM 507 Views
I completely agree. LiterateDog - 21/08/2018 04:35:38 PM 465 Views

About the casual part fionwe1987 - 16/08/2018 10:33:45 PM 470 Views
I don't think it's appropriate, but I think it's more about sexual shaming Tom - 16/08/2018 10:35:53 PM 543 Views
Precisely fionwe1987 - 16/08/2018 10:59:42 PM 507 Views

Sigh I foresee 7 days of homosexual prison jokes in the near future in media adjacent places Roland00 - 22/08/2018 04:42:23 AM 439 Views
