C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for April 11, 2013

Act like a real wife and maybe he’ll stay home nights.

Yes; yes, he is. And you should be glad of it, Donna. He’s not worth your time.

“Douche Canoe”? That’s going into the vocabulary list for the week.

I think Donna’s up the creek without a paddle.

Free rein to go have a lil fun yourself, Donna. Unless you do care for Pierre. And then … well, this’ll be fun for us to watch.

Maybe Donna’s heard a French phrase and has got it garbled> “Canoe” suggests “canard”,which literally means “duck” but can also be a “dirty trick” and by extention trickster, con-man, cheater. Or it could be “con” – not a nice word in French and pretty analagous to the English! “Douche” is “soaked” or “sodden”, so is Donna saying Pierre is a soggy c**t" – and if so, who taught her that phrase…

And having said that… this is how Urban Dictionary defines the phrase “douche canoe”

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Douche%20Canoe

Someone who exceedes the limits of being a normal douche or douche bag.

or

Not just your run of the mill douche. A total douche! This douche will kill you with his non stop douche baggery. Avoid the douche Canoe at all costs.

And there is also a “double douche canoe”.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Double%20Douche%20Canoe

Someone who is up shits creek with a turd for a paddle yet takes no responsibility for their situation and find the need to blame everyone else for their predicament.

Damn. I’m British. My first thought was that it was garbled French picked up from Mona. Or Pierre.

Jeez, it’s a comic strip! She does what the artist draws her to do! No free will, it’s make believe…

Talk about wanting to have it both ways.
