Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗suffix
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryUsed to replace "ck" and some similar endings at the end of a word or syllable. Does not alter the meaning (apart from making words jocular), nor the pronunciation.
The exact origin of this suffix is unknown. Currently, it is used to bypass profanity filters, by the Crips street gang in the United States to avoid writing "ck" (as "ck" could stand for "Crip Killer"), emphasize the "k" sound, and sexualize certain words (e.g. thicc, the most popular word with this modification, or succ).
