Let Us Delve Into The Unknown

"This sucks badly."

An oft-repeated phrase that can be heard being uttered as one traverses the many hallways of the various institutions of education and knowledge across our proud country. It can refer to a variety of things. I would rather not say, lest I be persecuted for my opinions.

However, let us take a closer examination at the phrase, and analyze its intended meaning. Be warned, the truth will set you free.

I have come up with two interpretations.

1. To begin with, "sucks badly" can be considered one phrase. Thus "sucks badly" is the description of "this". It would mean that the magnitude of suckage would be considered to be very high. That would give the phrase the meaning of "I am in a terrible situation" or something else similar.

2. The "badly" refers to "sucks". Hence it can be interpreted as "this" is very bad at sucking, which would inadvertently mean that "this" doesn't suck in the least bit, and perhaps could even be said to, might I say, rule. This would give a completely opposite meaning from the one derived in my first interpretation. The second meaning of the phrase would be similar to "My current circumstances are enviable."

It would seem, that with my inconclusive conclusion, I haven't really done anything of considerable significance. However, there is one lesson to be learned today. You would do well to commit it to memory, for it may have an impact on your existence. This fact will change your life.

Today, we have learned, that I have too much free time on my hands.
