OBS

Le terme «suçon» au sens de «bonbon à sucer» est considéré comme vieilli en Europe. Il a plutôt le sens de «légère ecchymose qu'on fait à la peau en la tirant par succion», ce qu'on nomme «sucette» au Canada. Il s'agit d'un exemple parfait de permutation de l'usage français et de l'usage canadien.
