Probably a corruption of original meanings, but I recall on ol' fart back ca. 1950 who extended the usage to always say "Well, that sucks the fun out of it."

Other words sometimes replaced "fun," and "fun" itelf might have implied other meanings.

"Sucky" was also commonly used as an adjective - probably more commonly in late 50s to early 60s.

In my region, ornery generally was pronounced arn-ree, with the "arn" bit rhyming with "are." Used generally to describe someone who "caused trouble for others" but interchangeably to describe someone ill-tempered (common), malicious (occasional), or just "prone to practical jokes" (probably most frequent).
