From a couple of pages ago but the doctor in this one is a really cool guy. He's around his 90s or so, and has made it his mission in the last several decades to educate Indians on sex (there isn't much by way of sex education here). Also he's funny as gently caress considering the number of bizarre things he must get asked every day.

Just type: "Nudist welfare ma" into Google, and you'll be taken to a place where you'll find that he was also legless, in a loft.

There are all kinds of unfortunate family names a person can get stuck with but that's gotta be one of the worst. School alone would have been brutal, but that's the kind of name even adults are gonna have fun with so you'll never escape it.

Googling suggests that the article is from a defunct Irish newspaper called "Sunday Tribune". They probably don't use the word as an invective in that country.

Still not a great name to be stuck with. "Enema" isn't an insult in the United States, but I wouldn't want to be named "Mr. Enema" and I would laugh at an article about an Enema probe.

Also, you are correct that the slang usage is from American English, first attested in 1967.

My British-English-speaking German ex had to ask me to explain what douche meant in America, as the only meaning he knew for it was "shower."

That was about 20 years ago, though, and I'd imagine the American usage has spread via the internet since then, both clinical and insulting.

Had a guy come in the other day with the name Butlove, but he pronounced it Byewt-love. He's an NCO now, but can you imagine being in basic training as Private Butlove? Poor guy. :(

I'm reminded of the episode of HIGNFY from a few years ago where they all had a chuckle about a White House employee whose name was "Randy Bumgardner", then pointed out that his mother's maiden name was "Mincey", so he'd narrowly avoided being "Randy Mincey-Bumgardner".
