hah. i have something that came to my mind the second i saw the tagline for this thread.
"douche-bag"
what kind of insult is that?! when my boyfriend pledged, he said that term around me once, because he had been hanging around a bunch of other pledges that used that sort of ridiculous language. he used that phrase, and i gave him the "look of death". THAT was NOT a habit i wanted him to pick up. i don't know why it bothers me so much, but he has not used it since - at least not in my presence
