Definition

- A vulgar and offensive slang term for a person who performs fellatio (oral sex on a penis).
- A highly offensive and insulting term of address for a person regarded as contemptible, stupid, or irritating.
Usage and Examples

- Noun (Figurative, insult):

Important Usage Notes
- Extreme Vulgarity: This is a term of extreme profanity. It is deeply offensive and taboo in most social, professional, and formal contexts.
- Primarily Pejorative: Its most common use is as a vicious insult. The literal meaning is often secondary to its function as an expression of hatred, anger, or contempt.
- Contextual Restriction: It is almost exclusively used in contexts of extreme hostility, within certain subcultures, or in aggressive vernacular speech. It is not used in polite conversation.
Advanced Usage and Nuance
- As a General Intensifier: Sometimes used before another noun to express extreme disdain (e.g., "that cocksucker politician"), though the term itself remains the primary insult.
- Reclaimed Usage: In very limited contexts (e.g., certain circles within LGBTQ+ communities or in gritty artistic works), the term may be used with reclaimed, defiant, or ironic intent. However, this is not its standard usage and carries high risk of causing offense.

- Suck (v): The verb from which the second part of the compound is derived.
