Countless films, SMods, Family Guy etc..... what does "douche bag" actually mean?

Also, not sure of the spelling, but Kevin Smith refers to certain things as sounding "goshe", from the context, does it mean up your own ass, pompous etc?

I'm sure there will be more to come, I'll think of some and get back to you lovely folk.

Peace and man hugs!

douche bag - it's where the water/vinegar goes when a woman's not feeling so fresh

gauche - 1 a: lacking social experience or grace ; also : not tactful : crude <it would be gauche to mention the subject> b: crudely made or done <a gauche turn of phrase>2: not planar <gauche conformation of molecules>

gauche is actually french for "left". It came to have that meaning in English 'cause when you do something with your left hand, it's clumsy. Well, for some people anyway. As for as how it's used though, JK nailed it, I just wanted to be pedantic about it.

Roughly translated = Asshole. You wipe your douche bag when you take a good shit.

A wise man once said "every day's a school day".

"Douche nozzle" shall be unleashed upon the masses........ who in turn will not care as very few, if any, will know what it means in these parts :D

I had the same problem with the phrase douche bag when I first came on here. I googled it, as google knows everything, and found some educational blurbs and pics. Worth a look!

I was first alerted to it by Stewie Griffin.

Hopefully this shit doesn't get me jailed. :D
