What do you think of when you call someone a "douche"?
 

With all of this douche talk occupying the board, I just want to clarify what is actually meant by the application of the term "douche".

For example, when I call someone a douche, I generally mean:

• the overvalue themselves and belittle others in the process
• they try really really hard to be cool but they are clearly not
• they can't take a hint that nobody likes them

I've heard others use the term as a general derogatory term for someone they don't like. However, when I use it I have a specific meaning in mind.

Please share your views on douche usage.

douche starting a thread about douches




somehow fitting

:D

Someone I could watch being beaten into a bloody pulp with absolutely no regard for their well-being, perhaps accompanied with a small smirk.

frazbob or donger.

Smarmy asshole, generally.

Have you ever been in a physical altercation Donger? Not asking to be a smart ass, genuinely curious. You don't strike me as the type.

Fraternities.

For me, douche is a synonym for asshole.

Someone who would steal a laptop, complains about his chin, or has pissed on another man's back.

Philip Rivers

Also if you wear affliction or like MMA...probably a douche.

A generally shitty being with no real sense of morals.

Can't be defined by words.

WTF is wrong with that?

Anyone who has ever wore a Boba Fett costume.

Hey!

That's why he posted he's the one watching such an altercation. Like chickenhawks, they like others to do the fightin'!

I don't ever use the word 'douche.' But I do think those who refer to others as douches, are total douches.

Shit.

That Ned Flanders mother ****er wouldn't hurt a mouse.

Yes, but I don't like to think about them. I went through a rather odd phase.

That's why he said watch somebody be beaten. I doubt he's ever had a fight outside of elementary school-yard stuff.

Gay bathhouses?

I sometimes call people "toolbags" or "douchetacos"

I've noticed you're not a heavy user of the word douche. Even in the Ramtard thread where it would be more than appropriate. You seem to prefer the word dipshit.

I just thought it was short for douchebag—which means a really bad person.

how creative and non-douche-waffly

Why do you consider that "odd"?

It's Boba Fhett, not Fett.

Because it's non-biblical and abominable.

No, I went through a horribly violent period during college.

Some have a Fhettish.

Most things non-biblical are fun.

Trolling aside, how so? Did you ever hit a woman? If so, was she asking for it?

I wouldn't have guessed to be honest. Impressed isn't the correct term, more suprised.

douchewaffle! i like that one

What? No.

I'm just kidding, that's not why it's odd. It's odd because Donger is straight, and most gay bathhouses are occupied by gay men. A straight man hanging out with a bunch of nude gays in a steam room is pretty "odd".

You are too pathetic/ginger to be considered a douche.

I've been up since 1 A.M. I'm not getting this joke.

I'm not trolling. I answered a question posed to me.

No, I've never hit a female.

I'm pretty sure that Fhett is correct, although I could be wrong.

So how many times did you get your ass kicked?

It is "Fett."

GTFO!

LMAO

Naw - I just think of someone who is a complete sleaze. That's why I really don't consider anyone here a "douche" per say. There are PLENTY of dipshits, morons, dumbasses (to quote Milkman) and real idiots, but not many sleaze bags.

Never. My brothers worked me over pretty well a few times, though.

I'm saying trolling aside on my part. I don't actually think you frequent gay bathhouses.

Why have you never hit a female?

Heyohhhhhh!!!

Okay.

Because he's not a douche.

HOw many times were you beaten?

Because they are females.

I'm skeptical of this claim. Everyone who has been in more than one fight has taken an ass kicking at some point.

Okay.

Paging Sauto.

You know that thing you do when you answer a question by asking a question and when you pretend to not know what someone is talking about?

I assume you've never done that to anyone in person.

Pawnmower or coffey

Discuss Thrower

I do it all the time in person.

Why did you bold never?

Skeptical is the word you're looking for.

I usually think of Loochy.

Then you didn't do it right or they would have beat you up.

That old red bag that used to hang in the shower when I was a kid...

It means that the person is not smart enough to come up with a better insult.

Just like when someone is called a 'tool' Most tools have a purpose or are useful and help solve a problem.

Me and my mind overthinking.

That's how I feel about being called a pussy. I can't think of a better thing on this planet than pussy, so it's like calling me the best thing on earth?? Sweet!!

Pussy means I could beat you up.
Douche means I want to beat you up.

An asshole with an overinflated sense of self worth

Right, but we aren't talking about what you think about in bed. We are talking about what you think when you call someone a douche.

How do you know both don't apply?

This is the winner for me.

There are many different types of douches. There's the cocky douche, the racist douche, the bully douche, the know-it-all douche, etc. One thing they all share is the quoted..

The bold part made me chuckle.

This is a really good question. But it reminds me of the Supreme Court definition of pornography--difficult to define, but I know it when I see it.

Six threads and no mentions of Ed Hardy?

That's a good definition, I agree.

For some reason, whenever I picture someone with this particular label, I envision a guy wearing a pink Izod shirt with a popped collar. I don't know why. It's not like I have experience with people dressed like that.

But it makes me also think that it's a person who is so concerned with what other people think that he/she tries too hard to be cool. So you get exaggerated fad-following and other behaviors that implicitly define coolness, accompanied by overemphasis to be sure that observers know that they're cool. I think that then leads to the impression that they have an overinflated sense of worth, when ironically it could be a low sense of worth that's being overcompensated.

But then again, I can also see the model that does the fad-following and legitimately thinks that it makes them cool, which means that the overinflated sense of worth is a real feeling and not a compensation. So is it possible that there two polar opposites that both fit the definition, displaying very similar behaviors but for opposite reasons?

oh and I think of meatloaf
