Hello forum!
Recently I heard from one native speaker (Canadian) who taught English slang that this common expression "... sucks" (Ex: Meh, this music really sucks) actually came firom Jazz. When a musician played well he "blew" and if he did a poor job he "sucked". Perhaps for people who play wind instruments that really makes sense. Was it just a joke to hide some other "reasons" or it's really true?
Thank you.
