When Did Douche Become an Insult?

These days, it?s not entirely clear what it means to call someone a douche or a douchebag. The Oxford English Dictionary defines douchebag, in its epithetical sense, as a ?general term of disparagement,? or more specifically as ?an unattractive or boring person.? The specific definitions seem clearly out of step with modern usage. Rolling Stone?s Taibbi, for example, didn?t intend to call Breitbart a bore, because he honored the late pundit?s knack for conjuring a spectacle. Likewise, Taibbi probably wasn?t referring to Breitbart?s looks (although he does comment on Breitbart?s ?bloated Joey Buttafuoco cheeks and splendiforous silver half-mullet?).
