ok, i hear that word often lately...
what is a douche? and isnt it written douché, cause its a french word?

is it maybe somekind of a liar?

n 1: a small syringe with detachable nozzles; used for vaginal lavage and enemas [syn: douche bag] 2: irrigation with a jet of water or medicated solution into or around a body part (especially the vagina) to treat infections or cleanse from odorous contents v : direct a spray of water into a bodily cavity, for cleaning

I'm glad we had this talk.

If you were speaking french perhaps....but since it's also an english word, nope =)

Thank you for that Michael. How very....disturbing...to read the definition even though you know what it is. Just seems wrong somehow.

=)
