what does "sucker" mean?

For example, you are a sucker. so that's same to "you suck"?

No, to call someone a "sucker" doesn't actually mean that they suck. It means that they are easily deceived, conned, or tricked.

You are a sucker.

The above post ("You are a sucker") was written by a troll.

Yeah, that's true. ;-)

No, actually it rhymes with "quasar".

<<rhyme>>

Typo. That should be "rhymed".

"sucker" is also a Midwestern U.S. word for a lollipop.

Really? Just the Midwest? The term is also used in the Northwest.

I've always perceived "sucker" as just a more old-fashioned word for lollipop; I didn't know that there was a difference in geographical distribution.

"sucker" tends to be more commonly used here in the Midwest, especially up in Michigan, less so down here in Ohio.

Here, we don't really say "you are a sucker", we'll just say "sucker" by itself, like:

A: Crap, I've got this huge history test next and I haven't studied!
B: Hah, sucker.

In that sense, it probably means, it means "too bad" or "tough luck" or something

I always thought a sucker was a person who likes to use a male's organ as a substitute toothbrush. Am I wrong?
