I’m going to come to the defense of the use of the term “douchebag”, and for the following reason: any reliable book on sex is going to tell you that women shouldn’t douche, and if they feel they need to, they probably have some kind of infection and need to see the gynecologist. A douchebag is therefore an item that is both sexist (because the only people who like them are people who don’t like pussy to begin with) and useless.

“Cobag” works too though…

To get some grist for Douthat’s ‘pro-life’ pieces, Google “aborticentrism.”

Doughhat? Is that like an asshat, it would make sense since he sounds like one. I sure hope a doughhat is not some creepy cross between Doughy Goldberg and an asshat because the amount of mind bleach necessary to rid myself of that image probably has negative side affects.

…outbreaks of large-flightless-bird-related punning.
You mean avian non-flew epidemics? Get rhea – flightless bird punning is so difficult, I don’t think we can come up with any moa.

Hey “Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole” according to J.Richman.
You’re pretending that your urination is pivotal. That’s right the key wee.

It’s a fair cop, guvnor

Smut, Pablo Picasso was never called asshole.

The trouble with the word ‘asshole’ is that it leads to ‘Picasso’, and that in turn can lead to outbreaks of large-flightless-bird-related punning.
You could say that I have become Picasso-wary.

OK;

“asshole” and “shithead” still seem to be functional, right?

Such putatively detractive labels as “cobag” are used by the young and clueless who, in their youngness and cluelessness, do not yet acknowledge (and why should they) the sad inevitable reality that someday they too very well may have the exceedingly humorless need of a colostomy bag. These admittedly pathetically comforting realizations nevertheless help ease the encroaching desperate numbness of us the rapidly aging.

As prototyped by the assholes at 3Bulls, ‘Cobag’, short form for colostomy bag, has also proven to be an acceptable gender neutral epithet.

Pinko and pals have stress tested it in many different situations, and it seems to be durable, if half-assed.

In addition, the substitution of “enema” for “douche” would be way feminist-appropriate, speaking solely for my own self and not as a representative of any recognized affiliation of feminists.
