Morphology
The imperative phrase 'suck on that' is an idiomatic, vulgar taunt whose triumphant/defiant sense cannot be derived from the literal meanings of 'suck' + 'on' + 'that'. Knowing the constituents (including the informal sense 'suck' = 'be bad') does not lead a B1 learner to infer the intended boastful/challenge meaning, so prior exposure or cultural knowledge is required.
Etymology
Suck on that may come from the sharp image of forcing someone to suck a bitter or sour thing, where the that is the unpleasant taste, after you beat them. So saying suck on that became a way to boast or 'taunt' someone after a victory.
