A tongue-in-cheek noun for the general attitude, behavior, or lifestyle characteristic of a douchebag — characterized by arrogance, obnoxious self-promotion, inconsiderate behavior, and a knack for making everyone in the room slightly miserable. 'Douchebagism' treats this cluster of personality traits as though it were a coherent ideology or school of thought, which is part of the joke. It's the kind of word you use when 'being a jerk' simply doesn't capture the full scope of the offense.

The way he cut in line, name-dropped his salary, and mansplained the menu was a masterclass in douchebagism.
Origin: Formed by adding the suffix '-ism' to 'douchebag,' a US slang insult; the compound treats obnoxious behavior as an ideology. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora (model-assisted, hedged).
