Ted, when I first heard of the slang term "teabagging," it was in the context of first-person shooting games like Halo. Some poor player gets "fragged," and someone from the other team would then squat over his virtual corpse and shout, "Teabag!"

I had to look up "urban dictionaries" to find out what it meant. Even then, I still didn't get why some people are turned on by it or why it even deserved it own slang term.

Imagine my surprise when the first thing coming out of people from "respectable" media establishments like CNN is that slang term. What a highly inappropriate way to refer to the tax protests.
