Ya.... the older I get, the less impressed I am by "witty" double entendre.

Some people are easily amused.

Ha! I am quite the opposite. The older I get the more easily amused about...well, almost everything. Loved my f'it 40s, really enjoying my Filter less 50s and looking forward to how my 60s are going to be!

Oh be careful what you wish for. It seems that my sixties are over-represented by my lifetime of small injuries showing up and saying “Hey! Remember me? hee-hee.” And when I am feeling good about myself and I am interacting with some fun folks, hearing them say “I wish my parents were like you!” And getting a senior discount when I didn’t ask for it, dammit. And when I am walking through the airport with my skis in my Douche Bag (trademark), just getting dirty looks from all the cute girls. (And knowing that it is a little bit creepy that I am noticing that they are cute...).

I think I read somewhere that the guys who developed the Douchebag understood the use of the term in reference to a personality type, but understood less the use of the term as a female hygiene device. But yeah, I'm glad my Douchebag logo is shortened to Db.

I'm still trying to figure out whether Cat Crap was originally amusing or whether everyone just thought it should be.

I'm pretty sure everyone knew what they were getting into with the name Douchebag but it's a great way to brand awareness among your target market.

Blizzard are however dirty boys with the Bushwhacker.

Which is another reason to adore you.

A friend who was in on the development of the DB gave my wife a ski bag, and the carry on. Her response, being in her fifties was "You're kidding me.....I need a couple of black markers to fix that." And she did.

Coming up blank on other examples right now.

You’re so sweet!

SEX WAX + paddles + ski instructor = sheltered life?

 

[cantunamunch]

SEX WAX + paddles + ski instructor = sheltered life?

Don't ask what's behind the other door.

RD's Bad Bitch from The Most Pioneering Women's Skis.

RD Bad Bitch ​

The first chick ski​

Step forward into the late 1980s: the Bad Bitch wasn't just a women's ski; it was a chick ski. RD had decided to produce a complement to its top-selling ski, the Bad Dog, and call it the Bad Bitch. Oh, to be a fly on the wall during the marketing meeting when they came up with the name. No, I wouldn't be surprised if the conversation was alcohol-induced. (In fact, my money would be on tequila and the use of the words, "I double dog dare ya.") Was the Bad Bitch actually a good ski? I don't know, and I don’t think it mattered: I doubt anyone bought it for its performance. A woman bought it to make a statement that she wasn't just a gal who skied, she was a skier chick. In doing this, RD paved the way for Armada to name a ski the VJJ.

 

[Lauren]

Well there’s Libtech with a couple double entendres; the Box Scratcher and the Banana Blaster.

 

[David Chaus]

Not so much the name, but ON3P’s Pillow Fight is somewhat inappropriate. I think it’s still available as a custom graphic.
