Every week, we get a few zillion emails from people who want to nominate someone for the Douchebag Hall of Fame, or just point out that someone is a douche. While many of the people nominated are completely Summer's Evey, sometimes they just lack that special essential something that elevates them to Hall of Fame status. But that's no reason not to share the joy/burden of knowing about their douchey antics with the rest of the class. Also, we wanted an excuse to share this tangetially-related coinage with you:

"Wow, I thought I was being a douchebag, but you have really out-douched me this time. Douch

!"
Start using it NOW. More douchery after the jump.

  • Regarding GMiJ winner Gary Miller, from a fellow Washington Square News Staffer: "basically, this is just a thank you letter. thank you for making my harpy e-i-c and pygmy managing editor shriek and shout and defend guys like gary miller as "journalism." and thank you for making gary further prove that he's the biggest douche on west 4th."
  • Re: the man in the photo-illustration accompanying this article. "is it me, or is this man looking like a sad/ pathetic, douchebag/fool. is the times mocking him? is this what happens to you when you hold on too long to the exuberance of youth? was he aware he was being photographed? am I too cynical?I'm sure there's not much that's too cynical for you folks! I get that they wanted to connect the baby boomer to stability in music sales ; but this illustrates it a little too starkly for my taste. at least take off the bi-focals.look how serious he looks. did the times have to be so literal?I'll bet he's listening to the WHO... or nothing. It's embarrassing and laughable."
  • "Hi, Could someone comment on this self-promoting douchebag? No one can put a stop to his bloggerrhea, and if someone did, I'd almost miss it because it's so narcissistically bad."
  • "Please don't post this yet - I'm writing for ideas. Donald Trump is suing me for the domain name

    TrumpandTonic.com. If you search DouchebagMcgee's posting under the blog about the new Trump Vodka, you'll see what I'm talking about. Anyway, they sent me a letter saying to give them the name (they'd pay me $100) or they'd sue the hell out of me. I contacted them and told them I wanted $1 and

    a "thank you" letter from the trumpster himself. They said , and I quote, "Once the lawyers stopped

    laughing, they said that would NEVER happen." I told them since I have a real business (see website)I need something more than $100, even if it's not monetary. They told me to send them a proposal. That's where you come in. I'm out of ideas. Spent. What should I sell it for? A lifetime supply of Trump

    Water? A case of Trump Vodka? A donation of $100 to NAMBLA? Throw me some ideas." (Note to tipsters: writing to Gawker in search of ideas is like asking a starving Ethiopian for half of his sandwich.)
  • I know one of the w ketchup dudes - he barely even merits douchebag, much less buttmunch or asshat. and just 'cause I'm petty, I'll hasten to point out that he's not as tall as I am (at a staggering 5'2" I am a good deal less than imposing) and - far worse - frequently wears plaid pants.
  • In case the Gawker crew hasn't come across this book ("How to Date a White Woman: A Practical Guide for Asian Men"), then a) order a copy immediately, b) read it while laughing your ass off, and c) find the author and interview him for God's sake! He is either a complete genius or a total douchebag. You make the call.
  • We could go on and on and on — seriously, you wouldn't believe how on we could go — but we'll spare you.
