Lysol: douche or household cleaner?

www.mum.org/Lysol48.htm

Apparently, back in the day, Lysol was originally marketed as a feminine hygiene product and indirectly as a method of birth control. I don't know what bothers me more, the fact that Lysol was used in such a fashion or that, at some point, some marketing putz had to write a Lysol ad making the transition for a miracle cure douche to the floor cleaner we know and love today.

While I often think that most people are small minded, bigoted and borderline functionally retarded, we've come a long way since the 1940's attitude towards women.

All hail Hecate.

French is such a beautiful language. I'm going to be all posh and use it from now on. Can I pronounce it douché with a bit of flair at the end? Eg: Hello bellboy, I'm need to douché, may I please have a fresh towel?
