An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self-worth, compounded by a low level of intelligence, behaving ridiculously in front of peers
"Did you see Shawn hitting on my girlfriend today like he thought he was the shit? What a douche bag."

One who acts like a asshole and is well awere of it, but feels a false sence of self-justifacation in it due to there delusions of self rightiosness. Bassicly, elietist bastards who flaunt there apperent status, when the status is an example of total bullshit.
When confronted on this they will often point out some trivial flaw in you that dosent matter, changing the subgect.

This controversial term dates back to Richard Brome's 1588 comedy 'the Court of Malcontents'
In Act I Scene II, the following takes place:
Don Benedicto: Aha! and from whence hast this bough sprung?
Don Matheus: From the douche, no doubt!
Don Benedicto: The douche. The douche. Ye Gods man!
Tell me from whence hast the douche come ye can
Don Matheus: The douche is borne from yonder douche-bag.
Don Benedicto: Your humour does not humour me, sir. Begone or taste my steel.
Don Matheus: Thou steel be brittle, sir.
This pun is lost on most modern audiences, but in the play leads to Don Matheus and Don Benedicto fighting a duel (during the Edwardian period the word 'steel' would be pronounced very similarly to the word 'still', which then was used to refer to the way in which a mother holds her child. Don Matheus is implying that Don Benedicto's mother was incompetant. Indeed, he even goes as far as to suggest that Don Benedicto was dropped on his head at an early age, insulting both Don Benedicto's honour and intelligence).
'Douche' was a form of the old english word 'Douaché' meaning 'I sow'. It came to mean the seeds which farmers used to grow orchards (often apple orchards particularly). A douche-bag was a sack slung over one shoulder used to carry the 'douche' during sowing.
After this play, douche-bag eventually came to be associated with simpletons or fools (as it is the 'final straw' as it were of Don Matheus' ridicule which causes Don Benedicto to initiate a duel, which he eventually flees from - losing all face and honour as a gentleman).
This Elizabethan insult has in recent years resurfaced, particularly in the Americas, and has rapidly spread across the rest of the world thanks to recent innovations in communication technology.

Douche Bags are people who are very disrespectful and somehow manage to think they are "it" when in actuality they are not. They are the bottom of the social chain with their low grooming standards and inconsiderate attitudes and yet they think that they are the upper crust of society walking around with an undeserved sense of accomplishment. Douche Bag is a great term for anyone who is arrogant. The amount of success for a person does not matter one way or another as long as that person is considerate of other people and not so ignorant.
Douche Bag: I am so much cooler than those people who work at Starbucks with my construction job. I decided I want to grow out my goatee another foot while I get 50 more piercings while I spend 500 more dollars to tatoo my entire back. I'm going to go back to my trailer and add another beer bottle to my 300 other ones on the counter. Yeah I'm better than you college students! You're worthless! I'm bad ass!

You know you're a douche bag when you want to fight an old guy like Al Roker for dissing your slut of a wife.
