Times' Little Douche Scoop
There it is at the bottom of A1 of the Gray Lady, the news that use of the word "douche" has exploded this year on network TV. "As a writer, you’re always reaching for a more potent way to call somebody a jerk," Dan Harmon, the creator of "Community," said about the word "douche." "This is a word that has evolved in the last couple of years — a thing that sounds like a thing you can’t say."
Frak yes!
Douche defenders also point to its frequent use in the 1990s by Andy Sipowicz on NYPD Blue. But that show also brought us a shot of Dennis Franz' ass, right? So maybe we don't want to go there.

This FoxNews headline and sub-head are misleading.
The $47 billion in spending was specifically for fraudulent claims, not the total.
Screenshot attached.
Fox implies that the fraud claims are total claims and label those "total claims" as wasteful.
