I was but a wee thing then, so wouldn't know for certain, but it has a particular '90s ring to it.
First you ask if you can be red, knowing that I'm always red.

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

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

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

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

It's a fair question.

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!

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.
