Juggadouche 

The ultimate douchebag! This douche is such a douche that the word douche no longer suffices. The Juggadouche is incapable of understanding how other people perceive him and is prone to make a total ass of himself on a daily basis.
When approaching a woman, one Juggadouche has been known to throw a bag of ice on the floor and then proceed to say "now that we've broken the ice" before goin on to make more of a douche of himself.
