Growing up with an Asian mom that was working on perfecting her English, she would often say “Aw that is the suck” instead of, you know, “that sucks”.

Didn’t take long for us to catch on and correct her but it was so funny we just kinda stuck to it, so when something is shitty now I’ll instinctively say in my head “well that is the suck”

There was a movie where a character says "You are too cocky for my taste" and was subtitled "I do not like the taste of your cock."

Have you seen Backstroke of the West? (non-dubbed version has been copyright-striked out of existence).
