I'm Not a Douchebag, Douchebag!

Is filing a lawsuit against someone who calls you a douchebag a douchey thing to do?

It's the latest lawsuit over the book, "Hot Chicks with Douchebags." Michael Minelli says the author, as well as Simon and Schuster, took photos of him without permission and characterized him as a "douchebag."

Minelli, who wants more than $10,000, says he "continues to be called a Douchebag by friends, acquaintances, coworkers, employers, and strangers alike."

Minelli says a Douchebag is "a feminine hygiene device." Our search of the Urban Dictionary reveals 89 definitions, including...

-- Anyone who does the following: puts a ballcap on and makes sure it's crooked ... wears Puka shells ... puts collar up.

-- Someone who has achieved the highest level of being an a-hole.

-- Another definition is simply ... Kevin Federline.

Will truth be a defense? Stay tuned.
