About 6 years ago, the most famous words uttered out of my mouth and a word I fully take credit for coining is "sucka!" I've seen recent Volkswagen billboard ads employ my word. I should've trademarked it. So what was the genesis of "sucka?" I played bball in the Chelsea Piers League back in 2000. In the very first game, I dived for a loose ball and swiftly picked it up off the floor. Next thing I know it, a guy who stands 6'5" wraps his arms around me and grabs the ball to create a jump ball situation. The ogre weighed 200lbs more than me and as he was trying to lift the ball, he proceeded to lift my light ass off the ground. Whistle blew and then he dropped me. As I walked away with the ball -- yes I never relinquished the ball to Shrek -- I shouted "SUCKA!" I believe I got a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. It may go down as one of the most famous post-millennium words.
I should submit the word "sucka' to Webster's dictionary. If "Yo" is a word, then "sucka" should rightfully be placed next to it. Technically, in the S section.
