Concerning the word douchebag- I'm sick of it
Its like the worst thing you can say about someone is that they are as filthy as a woman's body. I find this to be very misogynist. I think we need a replacement word which implies the same thing about men's bodies and start using that- after about 2 or 3 millenia we'll be even and we can stop.

The man is a total scrotalrinse.

Something like that. :shrug:

2. what about a$$wipe?
Is that misanthropic?

I'm not sure DB is any more misogynist than SOB. People learn the word and what it means has little connection to its literal meaning.

5. Anal-canker has been my choice of filthy insult for awhile now.
Could be male, female, dog, cat, horse, pig, baby, fly, tick, moose...you name it.

9. Hadn't considered the word
You may be right, but I think of douchebag as someone who cannot hold water either, despite the term.

10. I like the word "snotbag" -- I don't know why
It really pisses me off when people call women "bitch" when the same behavior in a man wouldn't raise eyebrows.

I hate the word "pussy" being used to call people wimps. Say goddamn "wimp" or "wuss," but don't use a wonderful part of the anatomy as an denigration.

So I prefer "snotbag" to any gender-specific insult. Although I will use the word "schmuck."
