![]() ![]() The solid D, the pleasurable “shooosh,” the strong, grounded, anchor of “bag.” Soft and hard. Is it the sound in the mouth, in the air? Linguists, weigh in. A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching-a bag for holding the fluid used in douching. What does it mean? Why does it sound to my ear both vintage and extant? And what metaphor are we working here?ĭouche usually refers to vaginal irrigation, the rinsing of the vagina, but it can also refer to the rinsing of any body cavity. Why is it so good, so apt, so fun and on the button to say? What other label (and it is a label) so perfectly calibrated? Why does it cause serotonin release when spun well, in the correct moment or setting or vibe? Why does it sound serious and canny and true? I sometimes fall in love with a person when they turn the phrase well. I’ve been wondering about the term douche bag.
