As it goes...

Slang Stock Market

rickyv:

I’m shorting the word “douche.”

After a strong resurgence in 2005 and showing strong staying power through 2007, its day has come. Lately most of the people I’ve seen use it fit into two categories, or a combination of both:

1) people over 40 who have finally had the word passed down the cool chain from their younger friends and co-workers

2) the “douches” originally being described themselves

Pretty soon even the douches won’t be calling people douches, which is when the stock will completely crash.

I generally call people “db”. If people ask, I tell them what I’m saying, but I enjoy saying “db” more than douche bag…or douche. I use this when the opportunity calls for it…like when a co-worker calls his live-in/serious girlfriend his “old lady”. I say, “that guy’s a DB!”

I think this means I’m either;

1) uncool and old

2) a db myself
