A sucking whale less than one year old; - a few sources mention this was a term sailors used in the 19th century, but I couldn't find any actual uses. WTF was a sucking whale meant to be anyway? Today it's the name of a sex toy [really! I guess whales turn some chicks on...]. GreyishWorm (talk) 22:32, 22 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I think is meant in the sense we give as "(archaic) Still nourished by the mother's milk, as an infant; suckling.". 98.170.164.88 22:48, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
