After months of getting close, the relationship between Trump and his so-called ‘first buddy’ has become ‘fraught,’ according to a New York Times reporter
“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
why would you immediately assume you understand its usage in every case?
so why is sucking dick a thing requiring a secret relationship?
also it seems like a specifically gendered expression, why wouldn’t you say “eating Russian pussy” if you wanted to imply that there’s some relationship
It just scans as homophobic, just as calling trump/elon women as an insult reads as misogynistic.
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?
Reacting defensively to earnest criticism speaks volumes, I’m afraid.

Usually when it’s pointed out to me that I’m reacting defensively I take a moment to think about why that is, maybe you should do the same.

You could just not be weird about taking criticism from marginalized people, I think that’s the ask.
I’m actually not great with English idioms (ESL girlie), could you explain what this meant for me?

Are you trying to say that when you’re a misogynist you tend to use misogynistic insults? Because that tracks.
