Shows up in some Richard Sheridan plays, proably some shakespeare as well. an older, 18th centuryish insult for old (like, really old) women was to call them “baggage”, due to the dried up udder comparison (hang out w/ dairy cows, you’ll see), and in the way that they were elderly dependants, oldn’ in the way, people you had to cary around.

Just felt like pointing that out. Oh, and for Ms Kate, Garnet, et al: http://www.kissthisguy.com/ The best part is that you can vote on whether the mangled lyric is better than the original.

"queef" is an obscure one I'm rather fond of ("fart" noise during sex-shul innercourse) occasionally I have been known to call people "scrotes," or "scrotelet," but it's never really caught on. there's also choad, fuckstain, shitstain, shitbag, pusbag, dickcheese, and the ever-popular "ratfucker."

After all, it’s a bag full of douche and we good feminists know that douche is definitely a Tool of the Patriarchy. As such, I would suggest that when people use the term “douchebagâ€?, they’re actually calling them a tool, which is also a fine word that gets wielded often against the slack-jawed morons who reflexively support the patriarchy because they just know their reward is coming for it any day now. For instance, I once knew a guy who thought he was styling when he wore a tie with the Playboy bunny on it. That guy was both a douchebag and a tool, as they are synonymous.
