      So? The definition is the same.

      You can look these things up before you comment.

        Why on earth would I look up the original definition for a word when someone used the slang that derived from it and I already knew both definitions?

      That’s just turning the adjective into a verb. It’s literally the same thing. This is a common practice in the English language. It doesn’t change the meaning, only how it’s used in a sentence. If someone “cucks” you, that’s them doing the action that makes you a cuck(old).
