My local, independently-owned, new-and-used bookseller had a book signing on Saturday. At our monthly book club meeting a week ago, the owner of the store begged us all to come to it. The main reason I went was to buy the selection for next month’s book club meeting, which was not available the night of the meeting the way it usually is. She really wanted the event to be a success, even though she was less than enthusiastic about the author after having met him.
"Yeah, the d.b. came in yesterday to drop off copies of the book and make sure everything was a go."
"D.b.?" I asked.
"Yeah, you know: douche bag. When you meet him you’ll know what I mean." If you knew Kristen, you would know that it is very out of character to have her talk about someone this way. I met the author myself on Saturday. Sure, there are other, less icky ways to describe a person like him: twit, dweeb, jackass, and goober, to name a few. But the phrase that sums him up best is: “a total douche bag.”
( Depends of how you define the word Masterpiece. )
