Random Thoughts or Whatever

Vacuum cleaners don't suck. The sanitary way to say that is 'suction', as in "This cleaner is plugged and not suctioning at all.".

That still is incorrect. Vacuums lower the pressure and the atmosphere pushes into it.

My intent was not to describe how vacuum cleaners work; I was just commenting on usage of the words 'suck' and 'suction'. Vacuum cleaner salespeople always use the word 'suction' when describing vacuum cleaner capabilities because it is a sanitary word compared to 'suck' which has negative connotations. 'Suck' has negative connotations associated with it. As an example, "this amplifier sucks", indicates that its performance is poor. If your cleaner is plugged, then it is not suctioning.

I used "suck" as a gentle play-on-words... is all.

Noog caught it. Maybe some others didn't.

Also the way you used it was grammatically correct ... as a verb.

When you dine out, have you ever considered how many germs and bacteria are under the 1" long fingernails of your server?

Personally, I'd be more concerned bout the plastic menu, and/or shakers. But it's a very small concern, as hunger rules!

Of late, I'm more concerned with trying not to picture high-density feed lots and abattoirs as I chow down on my burger.

Vacuum cleaners that work properly don't suck because they DO suck.

Ones that don't work suck because they DON'T suck.

That puts Lucas Electrical Products Ltd in an awkward position with their only product that doesn't suck that's supposed to.
