Hi Marina,
My word request is [Hobo].
This is an odd one, upon which I have been efforting. I’m an academic and was introduced to your website by a former female student via email. Being what I would refer to as a “professional victim”, she was a bit agitated and wanted me to see just how deameaning a position a woman place herself into in creating a website like yours. After watching several of your youtube offerings, I responded to her email saying in brief… Get with the program. [sic] “If you can’t handle a strong intelligent woman who is gaining ground creatively in academe, please think again.” The image and presentation you have created has my respect. I learn from your offerings, and enjoy them. I personally enjoy your newer offerings where you interject a little silliness. I think it helps to keep a viewer a little more focused, and it is a great break for me when I am up-to-my-eyeballs in editing.

Sweet!
Hi, Marina. I am new here and I’d like to say that I like you very much. I found your videos while I was looking for some english teatching videos and I liked. Yo are beautiful! Lot of kisses.
Hey can you make a video telling where they got the word horror
Marina, I just want to say that you ROCK!
You’re absolute proof that beauty, blonde hair, and brains definitely go together!
If anyone is the antithesis of a douchebagette (antidouchebagette?) then you’re her!
A douchebag is a genuinely useful piece of hygenic equipment; it is thus inappropriate and [misogynistic]to degrate it by using “douchebag” and its derivative “-ette” as terms of abuse.
A much more appropriate synonym is “choad,” in one sense a partially-erect penis, and in another analogous sense, someone who is “full of himself” but basically impotent; i.e.
“Choadette” has a certain appeal as a feminine counterpart.
Sweeet!
I like Gaundi’s quote: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”. If someone is acting overconfident, there really is no point in making fun of someone if they are overconfident, because in the end, chances are they won’t succeed, and if you make fun of someone, than you arejust as bad as they are.
What strain of losers calls someone a douchebag, douchebaggette, and actually gets jolly on that sort of immature behaviour and who are the adults who encourage such talk? Hey, the world is already confused enough as it is so f@&! those losers with a can of dorky because it sounds like some slur kids under 10 years of age say when they insult one another in the schoolyard.

Today’s word I got in my inbox from the Urban Dictionary:
, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues
Or is it INTELLIGENCE is SEXY? [sus-pend-ers](suspenders)=lawyers needing others money for the words the use…{dole of dough and what is cole slaw?}…I give and gave at the beggar ’s HALL 
Years ago, George Carlin described the Italians he grew up with. They referred to other guys as “scumbags,” but girls were “douchebags.” I guess ‘douchebag’ came to be a term reserved for the male as an extra slam against him, necessitating now the diminutizing suffix “-ette” for a female.
Guess I took all the fun out of it.
Originally, “scumbag” was a used condom

Hi dachabs52,
Bienvenue! I agree, this would be a good lesson. I believe the slang word you want is probably spelled [RUBBISH]. I loved my visits to Quebec and hope one day I can return. In the meantime, welcome to HotForWords!

thanks man Merci beaucoup
I was wondering did [douchebag] have another meaning before this one
I was always told that [douchebag] bad wasnt nice to call someone is this true 
If it did have another meaning before and if so could you tell us 
I am not sexist nor discriminatory. I think women can be just as much a douchebag as men.
Hey man—could you explain?
i would like to request the word [anonymous]
So what do you call an individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, and behaves ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he/she appears, even though they have a high level of intelligence?
Don’t be so pusillanimous
A liayar?

Bob, you are sooooo funny. Got your Tweet.
Give me an A

Professor.
Was. I just “walked the plank” last Saturday, accompanied by 2,200 other grads. Now if I could just get the job I was trained for. What? They aren’t hiring anymore? Now how am I supposed to pay off my student loans? Oh my. Hand me my short katana.
You don’t pay them off, P9; that is WAY to honorable. Wait awhile, then get in line for your bailout!
congratulations and buenos suerte
Take heart, PT9, there are nearly 7 million Millionaires in America and 80% have little or no college education, let alone a degree.
Time to put your past behind you and use the ignorance you were born with to start making your fortune.
Good luck and remember me when you make it.
Thanks, I think.
Hmm.
Who was it that said, “After I graduated from High School I started a life of crime because the dropouts had already taken all the good jobs…”?
That’s definitely news to me. I always thought of douchebag as a gender neutral, if not over-used, term. It’s nice to know our society can find ways to be sexist even when it comes to cut-downs. Of course, now that I know the definition of douchebag, I can understand why it is used so frequently. There is almost no one that it doesn’t apply to.
that’s a new way of seeing things. i usually call my silly female pals [dorks]. may i ask? where does [dork] originate?
Although this site deals with the male douchebag, from the looks of most of the hotties on it, even these babes could fall for Marina’s description:

That describes my sister – Hah! Thanks for the word ammo Marina.
Now that is the funniest thing I have heard in a very long time. BTW you don’t qualify as you are totally with it, and , you have a good sense of who you are… Chief
You aren’t King Richard(Petty) are you? Your gravatar sure does look like it! Is it hard for you to turn right in a car?
right turn? what the hell is that?
In America we have a sport known as NASCAR. They go around an oval or tri-oval track all day long making LEFT hand turns. The REAL King Richard would have known that and you are obviously not him so good day, sir! I said Good Day!!
except on the road courses. on the road courses they DO make right turns
Michael Schumacher Forever
Jeff Gordon Never
you really do look like him
I know what a “right turn” is, I just never tried it, might run into something.
Oh. Now I get it. My sarcasm meter is broke
You have never turned right so you don’t know what a right turn is!
Well, on the bright side I think we have pretty much established that you are in fact one Richard Petty of NASCAR fame. That is great! I have always wanted to ask one of you guys a question:
What do you do when you gotta take a piss?
beevee…Superheroes don’t have to deal with that sort of mortal stuff. Ask Danica as she will have a real interesting answer.
Thanx, Chief! If I ever met her, I WOULD be concentrating on that part of her anatomy but not her renal output! Shes so tiny though, I’m afraid I’d hurt her…Who Am I Kidding!?
She would look me in the eye and say, “Is that all you got, Big Bee?” Then the German Scorpio in me would rear its ugly head and eventually she would have to retire from the circuit! 
(Its MY fantasy)
Reminds me of a joke:
A guy in his mid 40s goes and sees his doctor/best friend and says he wants to off his old lady. The doctor says,” no problem, just star making love to her four times a day.”
A month goes by and the doctor goes to his house. His friends wife answers the door and she looks ravishing, Marina-style! He goes to the den to see his friend and is shocked to see that he is in a wheel chair and can barely hold his head up. The doctor goes, “My God, what happened to you?!” His friend whispers, “Just following your advice, Doc.” The Doctor says,”But look at your wife, she looks 20 years younger!” The guy says, “Yeah, its a shame shes about ready to die!”
Another: Whats a young mans fantasy?
Marry a nymphomaniac whose dad owns a liquor store!
I knew a guy who married a nymphomaniac. Eventually, he had to retire from the circuit!!
Keep’er between the ditches, Chief!(Say ‘Hey’ to Kyle for me)
I heard someeone being called “douchebag” in the good ol’ army in 1978. First time I ever heard anyone say that.
hot dam it’s the soggy bottom boys!!
Yeah, and now I gotta R-U-N-O-F-T
We thought yew wuz a TOAD! Loved that film. Thanks for the good wishes, bro.

The last half of that word got me thinking of Playboy Playmate Alley Baggett.
(There are literally thousands of nude images of her on Google, it was kind of hard for me to find a sexy NON-NUDE to post.)
But why a photo of Marina?
She’s not a douchebagette!

Instead of words that are insulting to women, I wish we had more words to describe young women who are decent, clean and nice. How about [saponaceous]?

My first thought when I read the title was that that a douchebagette was some weird French thing to eat.
That would be douche-baguette (French for forgetting to put down your breakfast bread before stepping into the shower).
I hope this word was not too useful on your trip to Cannes.
Douchebag seems to me one of the most used words, if not the most used word, on Youtube
Douchebaguette! Sounds classy and fancy!!! Seems like an elegant way to say “chick”.
I wanted to say “stuck-up chick” of course.
{[borne]}…again I’mm a bramble with {[braggadocio]} spirit and cast(e)ing my bull sh*t over to branch out into [nothing]

Have you ever been hit on the head with a ‘baguette’?
I guess it’s also a play on words to baguette – a long, narrow loaf of French bread.
{Why you little shower bag}I will fly RIGHT 2 it
Almost like without a bitch and a nest to rest+++She soul SWEATY
Douche is such a strange word. Sounds almost like the norwegian word for shower – “dusj”. Dusjbag, hehe. When I read “douchebagette” I automatically thought of a baguette with an attitude =D
I think that most people would agree that it is a term used derogatorily against women they don’t like… mostly an angry put-down… often it reflects more of the attitude of the person saying it rather than having any substance in the person it is directed at. It is kind of mean spirited attack by those who can’t come up with better ways of conveying their emotions.
But aren’t most putdowns this way.
I’m with you on this one, beevee.
YUP!!!
LOl
uhhh yeah
yeah uhhh…is that something we knew could happen or just old is new?
