Douche is the French word for shower. In what way is that odd?Melana wrote:that's the oddest definition of douche bag i have ever heard
Curiousity got the best of me I guess.
I actually didn't know what it was either until just now. I thought it was just some random insult.
"A Douche (/duʃ/, French for "shower") in American English generally describes a stream of water or a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or "sanitary" reasons. In other languagesâ€"and non-US Englishâ€"douche only has the original French meaning of shower: it is a notorious false friend encountered by non-native speakers of English in the USA."

I only know your name cause Les said it in her first welcome post to you. But umm...hello btw! XD Nice to meet you. My name is April obviously. I don't have much time to post here too often. So you won't see me around too much. But, it's nice to meet you anyhow.
