80's version: bad vs. bad

And vice versa: "this sucks" and "this blows."

but both of those are referring to fellatio, right? So naturally they would mean the same thing? (Or at least, I think they do...)

Not to delve too deeply into the earthy, but in the name of linguistic inquiry I will mention that I always thought "this blows" (and by always, I mean, a vague impression that just came to me now when I made myself think about it) was related to the expression "to blow chunks."

Grammar is Fun!
