Monica: Welcome to the real world! It sucks. You're gonna love it!

Tara2What does "It sucks" mean?
It's awful. It's terrible. It's miserable. It's very annoying. It's not at all good.
The expression is not really in good taste. I would limit its usage to close friends who are not bothered by somewhat vulgar expressions.
