Return of the “D” Word
Can I say how delighted I am about the arrival of the term douche bag to the west coast vernacular? I’m sitting here ruminating on the term that was previously only welcome on the frayed edges of the east coast or cinematic italian delis.
It conjures up cat fights in high school, affectionate name calling amongst my very first homosexual posse and a great chunk of vocabulary to teach my unsuspecting German relatives. Simultaneously, sentimental and harsh, not unlike the disembodied voice of Howard Cosell or chunky metal ice trays.
Let me clarify. The east coast owns the term. Just as it owns bagels, the tragedy of 9/11 and the glory of the Ramones.
God, I feel like such a douche bag writing this on my site..
