On Teabagging

EDITOR'S NOTE: As the sole remaining contributor to the Nihilist in Golf Pants Blog - the others having fled to more respectable digs - I have assumed the title of Editor in Chief. As such, I have relaxed the editorial standards so that I may make gratuitous reference to male genitalia, along with helpful suggestions as to what some may do to said genitalia.

Way back in, oh say March, a number of folks got together and organized "tea party" protests objecting to some of the ways our Federal government spends the taxpayers' money. Many members of the highly intellectual, nuanced progressive left, took to labeling said protesters with the somewhat homoerotic term "teabaggers," the act of protesting being "teabagging". A most recent example can be found here.

If you are unfamiliar with what teabagging is, I will pause here so that you can enlighten yourself.

We all on the same page now? Good. Let's continue.

Now, it's clear that those who use the "Teabagger" slur intend it to be demeaning; a juvenile swipe at those with whom they disagree. However, with the objective eye of someone who has never "teabagged" in either sense of that term, it occurs to me that these "teabagger" hurling folks are unwittingly slurring themselves.

You see, the act of teabagging in its older definition requires two parties: the affirmatively active participant, or the "teabagger"; and the party on the receiving end of the action, the "teabagee".

So if all these "tea party" protesters are the "teabaggers," who are the "teabagees"? And which position is the more demeaning one?

CONCLUSION: People who use the term "teabagger" as described above are a bunch of sack-munching Nancies.
