No, b/c saying that wouldn't be correct. Whether the words are worthy of the the pickup truck-bed or not, you should say "his choice of words sucks". The verb applies to "choice" (singular subject) and not to "words" (plural object of the preposition). Therefore, the verb should be singular in number.
Thank you. Mr. (More) Annoying (Than Usual) Grammar Guy.

I get it.
If I say "Chuck sucks", that means the act is plural. Right?
