What Does Douch Mean?
I saw this tweet tonight and it made me think of something in my past. I don’t know if my dad remembers or not but I’ll never forget the time….
ME: What does douch mean?
DAD: Douch?
ME: Yeah
DAD: Spell it….
ME: d-o-u-c-h-e
DAD: After a long pause, red face, and slight grin….. “Ooooh, you mean……..Ask your mom.”
One of those digital cameras would have been super handy to catch the look on his face……..
Do ya’ll get it??? I pronounced it d-ouch….sigh….
When I was a kid I went to my mom and asked her what a Who-a was. She said a what? I said who-a? She looked at me and said why. I said someone said I called them a who-a. She laughed and said the word is whore. I said, oh, I know what that is, I would never call anyone that.

Too funny! I remember babysitting the neighbor kids when I was 13 and one of the little boys (about 4 or 5) had gotten into their bathroom closet and pulled out a tampon and opened it up and came to ask me what it was. I was so clueless at my age on how to handle that LOL

Fantastic. I once asked my dad what nads were when I was younger. It took him a while to recover from that one. And oddly enough, this is my second douche encounter today. There was a poster about it on my doctor’s wall. It made me giggle because it was so strange to see the term in a serious context, as opposed to dane cook calling someone a douche bag. I wonder what it says about me that it’s weirder for me to see that term in the medical context than the insult context?
My mother in law was watching the kids for us one weekend. When we came back she said my daughter asked her if she had a vagina. She told her, that yes, she did. My daughter just said okay and that was it. I said yeah, well, she’s noticing the differences between her and her brother, she’s just making sure you’re a girl.
