Reappraising the Chinbag


In our recent discussions of ‘bag subgenre, I’d like to return to a discussion of the Chinbag for a moment.

We’ve established facial ‘bag classifications as diverse as the tonguebag, the facial pubes and, of course, the douche-face.

But Chinbags occupy a strange sort of nether-region of ‘bag classification. Like Kevin Spacey’s predilection for 19 year old French boys, it’s ambiguous, confused and smells vaguely like halibut.

If we classify douchebaggery according to performativity, is it fair to lump Chinbags into their own distinct category? Unlike the douche-face, the facial fungle or the tonguebag, a chinbag cannot control the doucheyness of his jawline. It is there from birth.

So is it fair to mock the chinbag as a category of douche? Or must we factor in ancillary factors, like, in the example provided here, the dogtags, poof hairstyle and overall ‘bag demeanor? Not to mention inverted ‘bag sandwich formation.

So is the Chinbag an official sub-category of douchebaggery? Or does a Chinbag require other signifiers of douchebaggery to qualify as legit on the scrote scale?

Yup, these are the questions that plague me. That, and why my refrigerator smells like gouda.
