odmah se ispricavam ako termin nije primjeren za site, ali navedeno je u novinskom članku, pa ga treba dosljedno i prevest, dakle 'bad luck place' ali da nije neutralan termin, Hvala!

English translation:(.....) sucks
Explanation:
Ovisi o kontekstu, kako je vec receno. Međutim, ako je u kontekstu "Ovo/xy je pusiona", onda bi bilo "This/xy sucks."
