Is SUCKERS a Luganda Word?

Every morning, I walk to the end of my road and catch a boda into town or the office. There's always a bunch of them waiting at the stage, and usually, when they see me coming down the street, they race towards me.

Today, the one who got there first, and therefore got the shillings to take me to town, called out to the others as we were driving away, "Suckers!"

Aha.
You know ...
Ahahahaha.

The Americans stole the bloody word from us! It means ... no. He probably meant `circus' (maybe to refer to their antics), for which we have no word (I mean, we have some harsher versions of `suckers' that could work pretty well) or he actually meant `suckers'.
