First you ask if you can be red, knowing that I'm always red.

This has been asked 10000 times already, to the point it's kind of a trollish question by now. Yes, it was. It was even used in the movie, ET. People have been saying the word since at least the 50s.

Cool! Thanks! I don't spend my every waking hour on these IMDb boards, wasn't alive in the '50s, and just watched this show on Monday, so was just asking. Thanks again! Really!

Yes, it was. My brother and I used that term quite often.

Scumbag was pretty popular. I honestly don't recall hearing douchebag much.

Douchebag was a thing and it turned into a saying, Google douchebag and you'll see what I mean.

I said and heard people saying it plenty of times in the 80s. It's timeless.
