I'm interested in the fact that the old phrase, "stinks to high heaven" has
migrated to "sucks to high heaven"--I found 3,070 Google hits for the blend.

For example:

"Customer service in the USofA sucks to high heaven. Very few companies offer
quality service. Here are a few of my recent favorite sucky companies."

[I hope she mentioned Sprint, which has to be the most sucky cell-phone
company in America.]
