In modern parlance, saying something "sucks" means that it is bad or defective. For example, "That new song by so and so really sucks!".
However, if you have a vacuum cleaner that is defective, what can you say? "This vacuum cleaner really sucks!" is not actually a bad thing. You want your vacuum cleaner to suck.
Sometimes, a word is not usable in every context.
I just had to get that off my chest. Does anyone else have these weird thoughts?

I have never seen the show, but I know it is supposed to be a good one. Maybe when re-run season starts, I'll get a chance to see some of it.
Thanks for the comment. It is nice to know that someone actually reads this once every other blue moon. :-)
