D-bags jump the shark
The New York Times ran a front-page story over the weekend about the latest "it" word -- douchebag. The Times asked the anti-free speech group Parents Television Council to count how many times you hear it in primetime. The answer: 76 times this year.
Missing from the story was any mention of what a douchebag is literally or figuratively, making the article a little dry for my tasteSuffice it to say, this little piece of journalism will certainly spell the end of the popularity of douche. Might I suggest a related replacement: Colostomy bag, c-bag for short.

Only ONE problem .====Messy to say the least .Solution : Just bag it .
Another example of news people "discovering" a trend about 3 years after it happened.
I'm superlate to the game here, but I was reading this noir novel from 1952 called The Killer Inside Me, and it has what I think is the final non-advertising use of the word "douche bag" referring to an actual literal douche bag and not as an insult. It jarred me a bit to see it.
