Don't laugh
0 Don't laugh - I am an American teaching English in China. Now, I have been out of the loop for quite a while but I do know how to us "sucks" as in "Boy that xxxxxxxxx sucks." I hear a lot of people use it but some say it is quite rude while others say it is not. 02 br

00 I have found other "sucks" idoms but they are not used in this way. 02 br

00 The question is: is it ok for a grandmother to say "sucks"? I hope the answer is yes because it works so well. 02 br

0 It's not really rude, but it would sound daft being used by anyone over about 18. It sounds like a sulky child. 0-
