I just got back on DU and I am wondering, what's up with the whole 'douchebag' thing?

[BlueStorm]

Apparently I missed something good while my mom was getting her kidney transplant and I have been on and off DU for the past few weeks. I have been seeing this reference on here so now I am curious, a bit late but please let me know!!

1. Someone started a thread on why we shouldn't say douchebag.

This naturally resulted in a lounge swarm in GD and hundreds of people who didn't say "douchebag" before declaring it their favorite word.

2. Oh ok...

[Hosnon]

4. Hehe...right on.

Edit: You big douchebag...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. Whatever.

Douchebag.

14. It's only one of the greatest Lounge achievements EVER!

Slapping down an arbitrary decision to declare "douchebag" politically incorrect.

[LostinVA]

16. It's very mature to get Mod deleted yet still keep posting in this thread

Huh? Isn't it.

People in glass houses should keep the fuck away from stones.

Give it a damned rest.

17. Well, I just found out I've been nuked.

It's not a total lost.

[LostinVA]

18. I still love you, Jack

Even if I've heard you're a majorly queer douchebag.

[JackBeck]

20. Isn't it kind of funny

that said deleted poster just called us all "douchebags" after claiming that term was offensive?

[LostinVA]

22. Yup... very sad... and pathological

We have to ask Midlo about it.
