That is up from 30 uses on 15 shows in all of 2007 and ...

There is a whole hilarious article in the New York Times today about how the word "douche" is being said on TV all the time now, and how it's because TV writers need another word for "jerk," and how kids these days probably don't even know what it means.

Where, exactly, are you supposed to start when the New York Times runs a Page One media piece on the word "douche"? Times media writer Edward Wyatt penned a soft, round filing that was about the word "douche." It appeared on today's front page. This word is one with which this website (and media network) has a wide breadth of experience with. In November, 2006, former Gawker scribe Emily Gould wrote: Don't get us wrong. It's not that (50%) of our delicate ladyish sensibilities are offended or ...
