'stinks', 'sucks' #1041

Closed jmccrae closed 1 month ago

jmccrae commented 2 months ago

Synsets oewn-02680129-v (Interlingual Index: i35032) (v) suck, blow be inadequate or objectionable “this sucks!” “this blows!”

oewn-02679962-v (Interlingual Index: i35031) (v) stink be extremely bad in quality or in one's performance “This term paper stinks!”

Motivation I think these two senses are fully substitutable (if somethings "suck" then it "stinks" and vica versa)

I agree, these should be merged!

Maybe we should add an antonym: rock, rule "to be excellent"

This rocks/rules.

Hyponym of excel?
