"We Are Douchebags."
From Wikipedia: A reclaimed word is a word in a language that was at one time a pejorative but has been brought back into acceptable usage—usually starting within the communities that experienced oppression under that word, but often also among the general populace as well.(Via Laughing Squid)
Disposable cameras have been around for quite some time now. So why not disposable laptops?
