"D-bag" is only to be screamed mid-pelvic thrust on the Jersey Shore.  "Douchenozzle" is trying too hard, getting all fancy for nothing.  "Peter Bonerz," though, comes at you twice in one name and with a rad-as-hell &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Bonerz"&gt;wikipedia article&lt;/a&gt; to match, which I will now post here in its entirety with key passages highlighted:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Peter Bonerz (born August 6, 1938 in New Hampshire) is an American actor and director.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonerz grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he attended Marquette University High School, &lt;strong&gt;gaining his first theatrical experience with the Prep Players under rigid conditions.&lt;/strong&gt; At Marquette University he participated in the Marquette University Players under the Rev. John J. Walsh, S.J.&lt;strong&gt; After working long and hard&lt;/strong&gt;, he graduated with a BS degree in 1960, he decided to seek a career in theater, beginning with The Premise, an improv group in New York. After a stint as a draftee in the US Army he joined the Committee, an improv troupe in San Francisco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He had a number of roles in some solid films, including Medium Cool (1969) and Catch-22 (1970), before landing a leading role as Jerry Robinson, an eccentric orthodontist on The Bob Newhart Show, whose most frequent comic foil was Marcia Wallace as Carol, the sharp-tongued secretary. The show, which began in 1972, ran for six seasons--with ratings among the top 20 in the first three seasons, bringing Bonerz nationwide recognition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He came on to a busy and successful career as a film and TV director. In one of his later acting roles he played a worthless psychiatrist who almost gets the shaft in Serial (1980).&lt;/strong&gt; He directed a large number of sitcom episodes for series such as Friends, NewsRadio, Home Improvement, and ALF.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So try using that one next time, "Hey, Peter Bonerz, out of my way I am on important blogger business!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="peterbonerz.jpg" src="http://www.freewilliamsburg.com/archives/peterbonerz.jpg" width="509" height="298" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1995918528971265964-6328259171588325611?l=heartsandmines.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heartsandmines.blogspot.com/feeds/6328259171588325611/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heartsandmines.blogspot.com/2009/03/its-you-you-are-peter-bonerz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1995918528971265964/posts/default/6328259171588325611'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1995918528971265964/posts/default/6328259171588325611'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heartsandmines.blogspot.com/2009/03/its-you-you-are-peter-bonerz.html' title='It&apos;s you.

REPUBLICAN PARTY HEADQUARTERS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          The headquarters is located in an underground bunker. The walls&lt;br /&gt;          are reinforced steel and there are no windows, but the room&lt;br /&gt;          is massive and full of amenities. Carpeting, quiet classical&lt;br /&gt;          music, ergonomic chairs. Republican leaders sit at a large,&lt;br /&gt;          semi-circular table, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner chat&lt;br /&gt;          quietly over a drink.  Michelle Bachmann reads a book to herself. &lt;br /&gt;          Jim DeMint writes on a sheet of paper. Michael Steele paces&lt;br /&gt;          up and down the room nervously. A large stylized elephant is&lt;br /&gt;          on the wall. Suddenly a black box in the middle of the table&lt;br /&gt;          starts beeping and blinking a red light. All conversation&lt;br /&gt;          stops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                              MICHAEL STEELE&lt;br /&gt;                    Is that--?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          Boehner and McConnell look up quietly at him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                              MICHAEL STEELE&lt;br /&gt;                    Put him on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;          McConnell presses a few buttons on the black box and the&lt;br /&gt;          wall opposite the table begins to slide open as Steele walks&lt;br /&gt;          to the front of the table and stands facing the opening&lt;br /&gt;          wall.  Behind it is a view screen that snaps on to reveal&lt;br /&gt;          Harry Reid dressed in a black and silver body-suit.  He is&lt;br /&gt;          seated in an egg-shaped silver chair.  Behind him is an&lt;br /&gt;          electoral map of the United States with every state except&lt;br /&gt;          Utah, Oklahoma, and Alabama colored blue.  He grins&lt;br /&gt;          revealing a gold tooth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                              MICHAEL STEELE&lt;br /&gt;                    Reid!  What is it this time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                              HARRY REID&lt;br /&gt;                    Mr. Steele.  How pleasant to be&lt;br /&gt;                    speaking to you from Majority&lt;br /&gt;                    Headquarters.  How are things these&lt;br /&gt;                    days for the Grand Old Party?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                              MICHAEL STEELE&lt;br /&gt;                    I don't have time for this, Reid!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                              HARRY REID&lt;br /&gt;                    Oh, but you do Mr. Steele.
