EileenH 496 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Can you remember the word 'sucky' to mean 'gormless'? Is it still used, I haven`t heard it for years? I wonder what the derivation was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Somebody with a sallow complexion was said to be a "Sucky cheeked fu**er" when I worked at Raleigh. They were gormless too !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Sucky to me means overly sentimental and the word for someone who was gormless was cakey! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm pretty sure when I was a kid, if someone was described as sucky, they had a gormless look about them, like their mouth hanging open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Sucky another name for being soft or affectionate. To show you loved someone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I lived in Clifton, I remember being with my Mum and passing a girl with just the look you describe and Mum saying: " She's a sucky looking so and so"  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Pianoman 1,535 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 My mother and her mother used the term 'sucky' to be someone not very bright, thick or walking around with their mouth open! At that probably Aspley, Hyson Green or Radford terminology. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katy, that fits in with some of the other posts, as Mum was born in Dunkirk and moved to Bilborough when she was seven. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
