It's official

I am happy to report that Gawker has sworn off "douchebag" as a term of abuse. (Commenters take note.) If it's over according to Gawker, it's way more than over according to me!

Comments

The only commentary I can must contains several expletives. I will demur.

??? Most of us quit using that term by eighth grade!

Ms. Wallraff:

I sincerely apologize for using it earlier, and will refrain from usage of said word forthwith.

It's official, is it? So Gawker is a language-officiating body similar to the Académie française?

Yes, Nick "Douchebag" Bergus.

I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too...
