A common insult, often abbreviated to sux on the interweb, used when describing a bad performance. Mistakenly thought to refer to a blow-job, "... sucks" refers to the fact that the dutch noticed that certain boats "sucked" water and this would result in a little wave at the back of the boat. The larger the wave, the slower the boat would go; and at a time where there was a big issue with pirates and other naval threats, the fact that a boat "sucked" meant that it performed badly.
