A douche bag is a slang term that refers to an obnoxious, offensive, or disgusting person. The term originated in the 1960s and is considered a pejorative term. The term "douchebag" is often used to describe someone who is arrogant, snobby, or obnoxious. Although the term originally referred to a device used for vaginal irrigation, the slang usage of the term has evolved to refer to a person. The term is considered inappropriate in most settings and is often replaced with less vulgar terms such as "jerk" or "idiot".
