Word of the day!
So you know when you dislike a person, and you’re trying to explain to your friends why you don’t like that person, but you can’t really find the right term. As in, the dude is just an a**hole…nah that’s not it…just a straight loser….well more of just a cake eater…actually a real toolbox.
See all of these terms have specific attributes, and should not just be mixed and match. So over the next few weeks, I’ll be going over a few of these terms. And today’s word – douchebag!
According to urbandictionary.com:
1. An object used for vaginal hygeine.
2. Someone who has surpassed the levels of jerk and asshole, however not yet reached fucker or motherfucker. Not to be confuzed (sic) with douche.
4. A douchebag is a pretentious, sugar coated prick, but with emphasis on pretentious and sugar coated. It's not an adjective for an asshole, because assholes call other people douchebags, and assholes are more often than not proud of being assholes.
Obviously, definition #1 being the actual product (ask your sister for more details.)
Definition #2 – pretty poor in my opinion. I definitely think douchebag is worse than jerk or asshole. However, this conveys a notion that these all describe the same traits, and are different only by the degree of such traits. That’s not the case – asshole and douchebag have total different applications. Furthermoe, a-hole isn’t really bad, and is dependent on who calls you that. For instance, if some wussy teabag called you that, would you even care? In fact, in such scenario you probably would take it as a compliment and leave everything be. But I don’t care who it is, if someone calls you a douchebag you should be upset. Next, I definitely disagree with fucker being worse than douchebag. Actually, I don’t even think fucker is bad. Its really more of a term of endearment. Ain’t that right Finch-Fucker? Now on the other hand, motherfucker is definitely bad. At this point, I don’t know if its worse than douchebag, however. Lastly, I’ve used the terms douche and douchebag interchangeably, but urbandictionary is probably right. The terms should have different applications. I’ll have the lexicographers look more into that.
Alright, this post is getting a lot longer than I evnvisioned. I’ll go over definition #4 next time, which I think does get much closer to the true meaning. So stay tuned..
