When Words Come Back Into Fashion
It is funny how some words or slang come and go, or at least perceived as such. For instance, the past year seems to have seen a dramatic increase in the use of: douche or douchebag.
For an excellent application of the term, see GQ's 25 Douchiest Colleges (that would be universities if a Canadian was speaking).
From the entry on Amherst, #7:
In ten years, will be: Smart policy guy at State Department that no one listens to.
Personally I think that we should put a moratorium on the use of the words douche and douchebag. Very overused.
ReplyDeleteFunny list there by GQ, BTW.
