How rude is the word suck in English? It's just that the analogue of this word in my language is very vulgar, so it's always embarrassing for me to see it, lol.
@SuperOniichan It's definitely rude to tell someone they suck at something, but not exactly vulgar. In this context as a native English speaker in America the dialogue seems natural enough to me.
@SuperOniichan
When it's used for something like "you suck at this" it's actually almost a more friendly connotation compared to "you're bad at this", I can't really think of a way suck's used that's genuinely insulting since at this point it's more of a tongue-in-cheek phrase
So Sakurai and Uzaki both have musclehead fathers, it turns out. One runs a gym and one runs a dojo. Wonder if they've ever met.
@Badaxiseng *Sempai and baby.
It's guaranteed those pics of him and little imouto are going to reach Uzaki. That's how this manga rolls.
@SuperOniichan it's a word that athletes might use while jeering their teammates, or you might use with a close friend while playing a 1v1 video game. It doesn't quite rise to vulgar unless you're using it around your grandmother or something.
@Raycu I don’t argue, English-speaking people know better about English anyway. It's just that in my language, suck phrases usually carry a mocking homophobic connotation. But in Russian in general, most of the rude words are like that.
@imadoathing@Nep Well, before the manga, I mostly saw the phrase "you suck" in teenage American films or games, where as I understood it was used as a mockery.
@SuperOniichan I think it can be also used as casual mocking jabs between close friends. (Which is why its less rude than horrible)
On the other hand, if you aren't close friends...
To begin with, telling someone they are bad at something is already rude so "how much ruder" don't quite apply as much. You already destroyed his feelings ;_;
