Often I'll see comments like that made concerning kissing up to someone excessively. Like, a comment made about someone who is being overly flattering might be something like "wow, could you blow that guy any harder?" The implication being that the other person is kissing up to them SO hard that they might as well be performing sexual favors for them in an effort to get in their good graces. Hence likening it to a form of prostitution.

That was how I took moondog's comment. That Trump was excessively kissing up to Putin.


Definitely, there's an element of that. But part of the perceived insult is also in Trump and Putin being men, and blowing someone indicating submission and a slight against someone's "masculinity" whatever the hell that is.

Say what? - 16/08/2018 09:47:19 PM 416 Views

However much of a hypocrite moondog is, the article, I feel, represents something else - 16/08/2018 05:51:59 AM 437 Views

Cannoli is right: "sucks" implies the active party in oral sex - 17/08/2018 03:04:40 AM 506 Views
That would be the "receptive partner" in scientific terminology - 17/08/2018 05:44:16 AM 392 Views

"liberal" society does not police speech - 19/08/2018 03:31:54 AM 425 Views
You don't need to protect speech everyone agrees with. *NM* - 19/08/2018 06:02:17 PM 267 Views
It most certainly *does* police speech. - 20/08/2018 03:01:32 PM 412 Views
But to follow up on that. - 20/08/2018 03:16:07 PM 406 Views
Well, that's why we didn't stop with the FIRST Amendment *NM* - 21/08/2018 04:25:53 PM 213 Views
That's individuals policing speech, not society. Agregate individual action =/= collective action - 21/08/2018 04:25:23 PM 433 Views
I completely agree. - 21/08/2018 04:35:38 PM 393 Views

I don't think it's appropriate, but I think it's more about sexual shaming - 16/08/2018 10:35:53 PM 466 Views
Precisely - 16/08/2018 10:59:42 PM 419 Views
You are absolutely correct - 17/08/2018 02:43:21 AM 416 Views
I, for one, am glad to see this topic go flaming. - 17/08/2018 05:16:55 PM 480 Views
Yes, it is a tool used by those who should "know better". - 20/08/2018 03:14:30 PM 391 Views
