After months of getting close, the relationship between Trump and his so-called ‘first buddy’ has become ‘fraught,’ according to a New York Times reporter
You’re not really asking. You’re just telling me what it is. You messed up by admitting you aren’t a native english speaker since knowing that combined with this attitude reveals that you’re not interested in how things are. You’re literally asking me to justify or explain why an expression exists which has been around for decades. My explanation literally was just ignored. I’m out, you’re exactly who you seemed from the start. I actually fucking hate being right about negatively judging people but it’s so common to get full validation like this.
I mean, I’ve been speaking English long enough that I think I’ve got a pretty good grasp, but I still am constantly surprised by regional idioms. This doesn’t seem to be the case here though.
I still don’t see how your words aren’t bigotry just because you’re convinced you have a suitable target.
You never really answered my question directly, why does sucking dick imply a secret/subservient relationship?
I mean, I’ve been speaking English long enough that I think I’ve got a pretty good grasp,
Yeah, enough to assume you know everything, more than lifelong speakers of it.
but I still am constantly surprised by regional idioms
This isn’t a regional idiom and is something used on the internet constantly.
You said “subservient”, not me, so maybe also take that one to your therapist too. (this is clearly a word choice you would judge someone else for)
I wrote a simple explanation but I’ll try ONE last time with an example. If someone at your workplace was always covering for a coworker that is fucking up, you might think “hmm I wonder if they are involved”.
Having said that, again you are indicating on several levels a lack of genuine curiosity so there’s little chance I’ll respond again.

quoting you:
“Sucking someone’s dick” is often used as a way to refer to someone sucking up to someone else in a way that isn’t explicable unless there were a secret relationship
you were the one who said that the expression “sucking dick” means “sucking up to someone else”- do people often “suck up to” their subordinates or their superiors?
