Bloggers have been fighting the word "douchebag" for a while now, arguing that it's totally played out. Sometimes we use it anyway, because it's such a specific insult. Radar traces the history of the word, all the way back to Henry Miller. "Are they jerks? Maybe, but that doesn't cover the bow tie. Losers?
