      I mean, I’ve been speaking English long enough that I think I’ve got a pretty good grasp, but I still am constantly surprised by regional idioms. This doesn’t seem to be the case here though.

      I still don’t see how your words aren’t bigotry just because you’re convinced you have a suitable target.

      You never really answered my question directly, why does sucking dick imply a secret/subservient relationship?

          You said “subservient”, not me, so maybe also take that one to your therapist too. (this is clearly a word choice you would judge someone else for)

          quoting you:

          “Sucking someone’s dick” is often used as a way to refer to someone sucking up to someone else in a way that isn’t explicable unless there were a secret relationship

          you were the one who said that the expression “sucking dick” means “sucking up to someone else”- do people often “suck up to” their subordinates or their superiors?
