So now that you understand what it means, how do you say douchebag in French?

The problem with slang is that it's so idiomatic that you can hardly find any word-to-word translation. For instance, you watch a movie, the character drops the f-bomb, there are several different translations according to the context.
Imagine a tennisman making a double fault on a match point, he'll say f***, in french you'd say... er I can't remember how you say prostitute in slang (bitch ?), but that's what a french tennisman would say in the same circumstance.
So I can't think about a word that would mean the same as douchebag.
