1.I let them treat me like a complete beginner just so that I can see what *bull* they'll feed me.

What does that mean?


2.But there are some out there that just plain suck.
Is that grammatically correct?

3.Stick it to me=be loyal to me??


4.Every song you dance is like you're on
auto-pilot.
you are on fire?

1. "Bull" (and "BS") are short for "b u l l s h i t."

2. Yes.

3. Stick by me = be loyal to me.

I'd think that "stick it to me" is saying something like, "Go ahead and give me the bad news" or "Go ahead and do what I don't want you to do but that I know is inevitable."

Ex.: Jack: I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Jill: OK, stick it to me.

Ex.: Jack, losing 20-3 in a ping pong game, waits for Jill's next serve and says, "OK, stick it to me."

4. I could take that in a positive way or a negative way, so it depends on the context.

Positive: You're such a good dancer that you do it well without even thinking about it.

Negative: You just dance but your brain doesn't even seem connected to what you're doing, so it comes across as emotionless.

Is suck an adjective or a verb?

It's a verb.
