          Douchebag the pejorative term for people comes from a tool used to push fluids into cavities

          Deutschbag is a variation I’ve not heard of, the pronunciation only works if you pronounce it wrong, and it feels like an anti-German variation

            Yeah, the second is a portmanteau I’ve seen used to refer to Nazi-esque behavior, the joke being the vaguely similar pronunciation.

            Apparently it can be an actual anti-German term, which I wasn’t aware of, so I’ll restrict my usage to people who know I’m not being racist (nationalist? xenophobic?).
