Is "douchebag" a gender-specific term of...er...endearment?

[Shakespeare]

No, I'm not posting a poll. Just chime in.

1. Oh HELL no. Douchebag can be used to describe both genders

[Shakespeare]

2. Well, good. Then it wasn't a case of mistaken identity.

Nobody's ever called me a douchebag before (tonight).

3. According to the (always infallible, of course) Urban Dictionary, it seems

to be pretty gender-neutral.

(And while I generally avoid using either term, I should add that I think "douchenozzle" has a slightly more poetic ring to it. haha)

5. I would never use it as a term of endearment

it's gender neutral. And douchebags can be used to perform enemas so I prefer to think of them in that capacity when I call someone a douchebag.

6. the loaded question is....

how many people know what a douchebag is actually used for?

[Aristus]

7. I've only ever heard it levelled against men.

Seems kind of eew to use it against women...
