@KingFisheR00011 - Sucks is an intransitive verb. So, it doesn't need an object. Here's an example comparison:

This hamburger stinks.

This hamburger sucks.

I don't know the origin of "sucks eggs". It sounds like he's saying the person is an idiot / jerk / or something like that. There are many different ways to use it.

"Sucker" has a different meaning from sucks. I'll put that on my lesson list.

Thanks for you comment!
