What exactly is a 'douchebag'?
It's a personal slam I know that - thus we have Novak as the 'Douchebag for liberty'.

But what is one really - how common are they?

I googled the word but all I found were pages that referenced its use as a term of derision.

Check out the ad for Amazon selling douchebags 'new and used'.

23. they still exist, but rumour has it
women used them more when we were more sexually repressed! Now we know it's not good for you. (And if we want sex, we just have it!)

14. That's because we now have disposables
And because women learned that swilling out the naughty bits isn't all that great for them.

The original item was used back in the old days before everything was disposable though I suppose somewhere is someone who still uses one. For something.

20. Rarely used since the invention of the
disposible douche, the purpose is to deodorize a woman's urinary tract. The douchebag was much like a hot-water bottle or enema bottle, and was attached to a long tube, through which the deodorant solution would flow when inserted into the vaginal area.

Douching is really unhealthy for women. It can cause painful infections.

26. One of the funniest SNL gags ever
The scene: a fancy English ball in the, looks like, early 19th Century. Garrett Morris is the doorman, announcing each guest. We get things like the Earl of Sandwich, Lord Cardigan, Duke of Chesterfield, things like that. Finally he announces, "The Lord and Lady Douchebag!"
