Hello Tracliu
It reads like some sort of "ghetto-speak". Although it is a popular convention for a part of the population to use the term "suck" as in, "This sucks!" and so forth, it is basically, a vulgur reference, and not something which intelligent people should cultivate.
Referring to another human being as a "sucker" is denigrative and demeaning language.
. The designation "sucker" does not appear in my speech.
