In Reply to: To XFamily, your glossary of terms posted by Observer on March 12, 2005 at 19:21:28:

Sucking

This term originally comes from the expression, 'sucking the paps of thy father [Berg]. It refers to focused reading of a Mo Letter (or listening to a lecture) in a believing 'hungry' attitude. It is common for leaders to shout out in a lecture, 'C'mon! Are you guys sucking?'

The favored response is 'Amen!'[See Amen.]

[See also 'hungry' & 'paps']

'Sucking the paps of thy father' is differentiated from 'hungering for the honey that drips from the lips of David' or 'eating the vomit of his words'.
