I read this delightful little essay about the power and beauty of the word "sucks." It's from Slate, of course.
A lot of people are offended that the word, which has origins with an oral sex act, is used so commonly and widely today. Doesn't bother me, though. I also really enjoy learning about the history of a word and how the usage has evolved.
So, this is worth a read, at least the first half. Check it out.
