ChiefsPlanet What do you think of when you call someone a "douche"? - Page 7

**loochy** · 12-15-2014, 04:31 PM

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.

I haven't seen popped collar guy in a few years or so. I'm sure they still exist, but I don't know that I've observed one in the wild in quite some time. Tapout/MMA gear douche is still alive and well, but I don't shop at WalMart all that often, so sadly I haven't gazed upon one of them in a while either. Tapout/MMA/Girly glitter-cross-sequin jeans guy is out there as well.

Popped collar douche is still alive and well. He's just evolved into a more advanced form of douche.

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?

That's very possible, I'm sure.

I can't feel sorry for anyone that emulates a douche though.

Douche - generally, I try to use it pretty precisely. And if I had to state it concisely, I'd say I use it when I sense someone ENJOYS irritating others. Not on principle necessarily, or out of a sense that discourse should be a little bit of combat to be productive, but just because the irritation of others brings them a warmth in their gut and puts a grin on their face.

It's often passive-aggressive, but that's because passive-aggression is such an effective weapon to irritate others in an enjoyable, low effort, manner.

There is though an obverse variant where someone is so outside the norm/scene but is OBLIVIOUS to how much they stick out. That would encompass the Jersey guido, or the guy who goes on a casual impromptu campout/fishing/etc. outing with way too much expensive/cumbersome/new gear. Or the guy who talks loudly on his bluetooth ev-er-y-wherrrrre. Basically the types who are unaware how much they are irritating Larry David in any particular episode of Curb.

Anyone who talks about the number of girls he's ****ed in casual conversation.
