I suck at Sucking

Yup. You sure do suck.

Was this thread not good enough for you?

hehehe, well I'll be anal with you then!

You say "I suck at sucking" which is supposed to imply "I'm awesome because I don't suck" but if you suck at sucking, then you suck at something so you can't suck at sucking because you would be sucking. Therefore, to suck at sucking would be a contradiction.

This works though:
"I am awesome at being awesome."

He could still suck at something. He would just suck at sucking at it.

The statement "I suck at sucking" can be rewritten to this without losing meaning: "I suck at all sucking"

"All sucking" is a universal 'sucking at everything'. Things he could universally suck at:
1. Starcraft
2. Chess
3. Programming
4. Being awesome
5. sucking (contradiction)
6. life
7. women
8. math
9. *insert subject*

To phrase it another way:
"I'm bad at being bad at everything."

Or

"I'm not good at being not good at everything"

Or

"I'm talentless at being talentless, including being talentless"
