Anyone else uncomfortable with this term?

Was just reading a headline - "How to tell if your 401K s*cks."

I cringe every time I read or hear this term.

Perhaps it is generational, but this term was introduced to me as a description of a secksual act. It was not thrown around much at all. It was rather serious.

It is thrown around a lot these days.

Anyone else find it makes them cringe?

No. It has other denotations and connotations, so I don't immediately jump to the other and focus on that one.

It doesn't bother me as much as some of the slang terms for female body parts.):

Well, there is the obvious "act", and then there are vacuumes, too, so the word has more than the "seksual" connotation.

My first introduction to that work was not secksual.

My first meaning of it was ""stinks""

I have bigger fish to fry. Besides, I swear like a sailor anyway (in my own home).
