Some of us aren’t up on the latest Arlo-esque patois (at least in English) so I wouldn’t have voted for an Arlo award. And sometimes a teabag is just a teabag.

This interweb thingie is really educational but honestly, I could have gone my entire life without knowing things like “donkey punch” (learnt from another website mentioned in passing.)

“Teabagging” is also a gamer term for /sitting on the (face of the) corpse of someone you’ve PK’d.

What cracks me up is when they start waving signs like “I’m teabagging 4 Jesus” (I’ll let you google so I don’t end up in the moderation queue).

What would Jesus do? Keep his mouth SHUT!

I’ve heard and seen tea-partiers calling themselves “teabaggers”. Ultimately, who really cares about the scrotal double-entendre? It’s funny!

Catelli,
The headline writer was clearly not the author of the article being cited. I suspect the multiple levels of entendre were deliberate.

here is a clip from the Rachel Madow show… yes I know she is a lesbian liberal, but embedded at about 53 seconds is a clip from Fox News talking about “tea bagging the White House” … Yes liberals do use it in a pejorative way, but that is because at the beginning of the movement the the right was using the term not really knowing what it meant. The left just ran with it.

Actually, it’s about the liberal strawman teaching revisionist history to put down the Boston Teaparty, after which the lunatic fringe on the right named their movement, as opposed to criticizing just the movement that flatters itself with the comparison.

The Tea Party Movement take their name from the colonial tax protesters. Teabagging is a sexual practice first popularized in the John Waters movie ‘Pecker’ and is a disparaging term used by liberals, often with a smirk.

The Tea Party Movement stylizes themselves as anti-tax patriots in the tradition of the Boston Tea Party from 1773.

Teabagging is a sex act first made popular in the John Waters movie Pecker (1998).

Liberals like to use ‘teabagger’ as a smirky disparaging term for self-proclaimed tea partyers.
