This is a great list, but I would still feel dirty not voting for Maddux or Glavine. Assuming that I add those two to your list, my last vote would be for Pete Rose. Mussina would be my next pick.

I'm guessing the people that use the phrase generally also portray a bunch of other behaviors that Tom finds douchey, so when he hears "deuces", he associates a bunch of other negative behaviors with that person. I don't know much beyond that...

You don't see the football team in honors program lectures drunkenly jeering the kid giving a presentation who hesitates and stutters when he forgets a bullet point about poliheuristic theory or cellular biology.

I'd throw Ocean City in with the boonies. They still have a lot of that good ole boy local thing there. Sorry to hear about your experience. I'm glad that you caught the guy...you make me proud to be an alum. He'll think twice the next time he acts like a fool.

I would argue that a lot of those communities, despite living together, are still rather insular. You have a lot of different people living there, but they aren't necessarily talking.
